Lafayette in Hudson! Confusion, Jealousy and One Glass of Wine
What happens when you plan an 1824 equivalent of a ticker-tape parade for a famous war hero but neighboring communities have similar plans on the same day? Library Trustees Joseph Ferris and Gary Sheffer explore Revolutionary War hero General Marquis de Lafayette’s 1824 visit to Hudson during his triumphant tour of America. They will further discuss the Frenchman’s frenzied time in Hudson, including how it was tied to local and national politics, including an allegedly “stolen” presidential election.
Location: In person, Hudson Area Library Community Room
Registration: There is no registration for this event. All are welcome!
