‘The Night Lafayette Came to Tudor Place’ Event

Join Tudor Place on Tuesday, October 15 from 6 pm – 8 pm to commemorate one of Georgetown’s most historic events – the night, nearly 50 years after the American Revolution, when Lafayette came to Tudor Place. That visit in 1824 reunited Lafayette with Martha Peter – resident of Tudor Place and granddaughter of Martha Washington. Enjoy a performance by the United States Army Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps and a meet-and-greet with the guest of honor, Lafayette. View an installation of objects and ephemera around themes of Lafayette’s visit to Tudor Place in the historic house, followed by a reception with bites and an open bar, and music on the South Lawn.
