Lafayette Tour Marker, Nassau, New York (NY-181)

29 Church Street
Nassau Town Hall
Nassau, NY 12123
United States

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.

On June 13^th, 1825, General Lafayette was being escorted east from Albany, New York by a delegation from the city. They were met and welcomed in Nassau by a delegation from New Lebanon, New York. The New Lebanon Committee of Arrangements invited the General to visit their town on his way east towards Boston, Massachusetts. The General accepted their invitation, and the committee accompanied him from Nassau to New Lebanon, which he visited just before crossing the border into Massachusetts.
