American Friends of Lafayette

"Historic Rock Ford observed Lafayette Day on Monday in remembrance of Lafayette’s July 1825 visit to the daughter of Gen. Edward Hand. Hand, a physician who also became a brigadier general in the U.S. military, commanded a light-infantry brigade under Lafayette in the war. Monday’s event included the arrival of a historical interpreter portraying Lafayette — being greeted in his carriage under a recreation of an 1825 triumphal arch — along with fife-and-drum performances, historical presentations, reenactors, music, children’s activities and more.
The Lafayette200 tour of 24 U.S. states, mirroring Lafayette’s 1825 visit, moves on to Maryland after today’s Lancaster County sendoff ceremony at Drumore Estate in Pequea."
