Wednesday Lectures | Available
Jamie Credle and Raleigh Marcell
Savannah greeted its most prominent guest of the nineteenth century in March 1825. Lafayette—
French hero of the Revolution, protégé of Washington, lover of America, and “Guest of the Nation”—was fêted in all 24 states in a nearly two-year national visit. Every detail of the great man’s appearance in Savannah is chronicled in this fascinating lecture by Jamie Credle and Raleigh Marcell (Green-Meldrim House) in a presentation with narrative, images, and music!
