Step into history and raise a glass where Lafayette once did! On September 7, 1825, the Marquis de Lafayette bid Alexandria farewell after his triumphant return tour of America. Now, 200 years later, we are celebrating Lafayette for one more evening of elegance, conversation, and celebration in the historic Ballroom of Gadsby’s Tavern.
