About

To mark the 200th anniversary of Lafayette's historic visit to Mount Vernon, join us for lunch and compelling discussion with historian Elizabeth Reese, who will discuss her new book, Marquis de Lafayette Returns: A Tour of America's National Capital Region. This event will also serve as a launch for the Washington Library’s exciting new French Digitization effort.

This event is part of the Washington Library's Lunch at the Library series. A buffet lunch will be provided. Participants will have the opportunity to attend a post-lunch reenactment of Lafayette's historic visit to the Old Tomb, followed by a special wreath laying ceremony at Washington's Tomb.
