Lyle Solla-Yates#TIL this is the bicentennial of Lafayette's farewell tour of the U.S. and there is a nationwide trail of historic markers for many of his stops here https://www.thelafayettetrail.org/markers/map/ #Lafayette #histodons
There is a historic marker at Boyd Tavern and Montpelier, though sadly not Monticello or the University of Virginia yet. #Montpelier #BoydTavern #Virginia
The U.Va. library has a lot of material on this subject, especially about Lafayette's time here. The Rotunda was still under construction but it was ready enough to host a banquet in his honor https://smallnotes.library.virginia.edu/2015/08/27/lafayette-at-u-va/ #UVa
Monticello has material posted on this topic. "There was never such a time in Virginia as during the visit of Gen. Lafayette." https://www.monticello.org/research-education/thomas-jefferson-encyclopedia/lafayettes-visit-monticello-1824/ #Monticello #Virginia
