May 21, 5:30pm, Rome Historical Society will be hosting (via video uplink) an educational presentation on Marquis de Lafayette by the National President of the American Friends of Lafayette himself, Alan Hoffman! His presentation “Lafayette in America 1777 to 1781 and 1824 to 1825” will teach audiences both the details of his service to our nation in the Revolution, and what his return tour looked like, when he returned decades later to travel the United States as a celebrated hero.
