Exhibit: Lafayette's Farewell: 200th Anniversary
- 4:00 pm
- Frick Fine Arts Building
Lafayette Recollects A theatrical performance by Benjamin Goldman of the American History Theatre of Philadelphia honors the 200th Anniversary of Lafayette’s 1825 visit to Pittsburgh. As the last living General of the Revolutionary War, Lafayette was invited in 1824-25 to tour the United States in the hopes that his appearance could unify the young nation during a period of deep division. The lecture, as well as other weekend events in the region, are part of a year-long nationwide commemoration of Lafayette’s grand tour. A traveling exhibit will be on display in the Cloisters from 3:30 pm.
Free and open to the public. https://lafayette200.org/
Sponsored by the American Friends of LaFayette Association, the French Nationality Room Committee, and the Centre Francophone de Pittsburgh.
