Celebrate with us the 200th anniversary of the Marquis de Lafayette’s 1824-25 tour of the United States! Throughout the weekend, we’ll be offering special activities and events to mark this momentous anniversary.
Join us for a special Storytime (offered at 11 am and 1 pm) as we read A Spy Called James: The True Story of James Lafayette, Revolutionary War Double Agent by Anne Rockwell. Learn about James Lafayette, a spy who gained his freedom through his brave and heroic actions during the Revolutionary War. The Marquis de Lafayette intervened personally in 1784, detailing James’ service during the Revolution. To honor their friendship, James Lafayette adopted Lafayette as his surname. Then test your spy skills with a special decoder scavenger hunt that takes you on an adventure throughout the Museum.
