The National Park Service is inviting the public to a day of special programming at Adams National Historical Park on Sunday, August 25. The event is being held to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Marquis de Lafayette’s visit to John Adams at Peace field. The occasion offers attendees the chance to learn more about the extraordinary lives and enduring friendship of these two historical figures.
The Marquis de Lafayette was a key figure in both the American and French revolutions. His close relationship with John Adams, the second President of the United States, spanned many years. Their meeting at Peace field 200 years ago is an important event in the shared history of the two nations.
Visitors to the park on this day will have the opportunity to ‘meet’ John Adams and Lafayette, likely through historical reenactments or character presentations. More information about the event can be found on the National Park Service’s website.
