President James Monroe invited the Marquis de Lafayette to visit the United States, his adopted country. Lafayette’s tour of all 24 states in 1824 and 1825 drew large crowds and sparked a renewal of patriotism. During the American Revolution, Lafayette’s intense advocacy of the American cause convinced King Louis XVI of France to send troops and ships, which proved crucial to the American victory at Yorktown. 

Lafayette passed through Buckland, Virginia, on August 24, 1825, during his journey from Warrenton toward New Baltimore and onward to Fairfax Court House. The stop was part of a continuous chain of celebrations along the Fauquier–Prince William County route. At Mrs. Brooks’ Tavern, the procession slowed. The General was greeted by local residents who offered refreshments and heartfelt words of gratitude.
