This past Thursday, I visited Gallipolis, OH where they were celebrating the 200th anniversary of Lafayette’s brief visit in town. It was wild to see City Park decked out, and the people were so friendly. #lafayette200
200 yrs ago this very day....Lafayette crosses from Covington to Cincinnati during his tour of America. My schedule would not allow for me to partake in the #Lafayette200 festivities today...but I understand from friends it was a pretty good turnout on the banks of the Ohio!
When La Marseillaise filled the room, it echoed more than music—it echoed Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité. A shared dream that still binds us, 200 years after Lafayette’s visit. #Lafayette200 #FrancoAmericanFriendship #Louisville #France #Lafayette
A Toast to Friendship Beneath chandeliers and gilded trim, a crowd gathered in reverence and gratitude. Speeches honored the Marquis, but the room honored something more: the fragile miracle of international friendship—and the memory of a Frenchman who stood with us when it mattered most.
Echoes of 1825 on the Ballroom Floor With elegance and joy, dancers in period attire brought history to life. Every turn of the reel seemed to stitch past and present together, reminding us that celebration is a form of remembrance.
Across Generations, Across Time In a circle that spanned ages, today’s participants followed the rhythm of an 18th-century ball—just as citizens might have done to welcome Lafayette himself. Hands joined, music flowing, the past became motion.
A French-American Legacy Rekindled Two centuries after Lafayette walked these streets, we gathered to honor the enduring ties between France and Louisville. Pictured here: a moment of reflection beside the tricolor—symbol of the alliance that helped birth our nation.
200 years ago, #Lafayette came to #Louisville. Today, we honored that visit with dinner, dance, remembrance, and gratitude for the friendship between #France and America. History wasn’t just remembered—it was relived. #Lafayette200 #LouisvilleHistory #AncestorVibes #Genealogy
