*exhale* there’s no turning back now

LAFAYETTE’S FAREWELL TOUR HAD STARTED!!!

I’ve decided to make this board thing for every day of the tour!

the map is hand drawn (I regret doing it) so there will be (there is) a lot of imperfections. I’ll make more of the little black sticky thingy (idk what to call them) as it goes. Lafayette will move according to the places he’s at 200 years ago each day

August 15th, 1824

Lafayette arrived at Arrives at Staten Island, New York. the ship Cadmus landed at Sandy hook, New Jersey a day ago. He was accompanied by his son Georges Washington de Lafayette and some other people. He spent about a month on the ship.

August 16, 1824

Lafayette arrived in Brooklyn New York

on the same day he went to New York city where a parade is waiting for him marking the start of his tour

the parade was described as New York’s first ever all out welcome parade. His arrival was greeted with a thirteen gun salute and cannons

he also met up with the society of Cincinnati members, a thing Washington created to protect the legacy of the American Revolution. You can only become a member if you are a descendent from someone who fought in the revolutionary war. I visited the society of Cincinnati house in DC, I was really cool! They had a special gallery for the farewell tour! You can’t take pictures but you get to take home a booklet thing with everything on display on it!
