SUMMARY:Marquis de Lafayette Returns to Arlington: 200th Commemoration
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the bicentennial of the Marquis de Lafayette’s visit to Arlington House and the new Capital City area in 1825 with Elizabeth Reese\, author of “Marquis de Lafayette Returns: A Tour of America’s National Capitol Region.” \nAgainst the backdrop of a tumultuous election\, a beloved hero of the American Revolution returned to America for the first time in forty years. From August 1824 to September 1825\, the Marquis de Lafayette traveled throughout the United States\, welcomed by thousands of admirers at each stop along the way. Although the tour brought him to each state in the Union\, the majority of his time was spent in Washington\, D.C.\, Virginia\, and Maryland. \nElizabeth Reese is a public historian whose work is focused on the American Revolution and Early Republic. In addition to receiving the 2015 Scott Hartwig Public History Fellowship at the Civil War Institute\, Reese has spent over a decade as an interpreter at federal historic sites\, developing programs on civil rights\, women’s history\, and Founding America. She has been a speaker at a variety of historic institutions including the White House Historical Association\, George Washington’s Mount Vernon\, and the American Revolution Institute. Reese is the Associate Manager of Marketing at Woodlawn & Pope-Leighey House. She is also the chair of The American Friends of Lafayette Bicentennial Committee for Washington\, D.C. She is currently working towards a Master of Arts in American History from Gettysburg College where her research is focused on the Early American Republic\, especially as it pertains to relationships between men and women & public memory. \nAttend via Zoom or In-Person\nPREREGISTER FOR ZOOM ACCESS.
