Lafayette Recollects  A theatrical performance by Benjamin Goldman of the American History Theatre of Philadelphia honors the 200^th Anniversary of Lafayette’s 1825 visit to Pittsburgh. As the last living General of the Revolutionary War, Lafayette was invited in 1824-25 to tour the United States in the hopes that his appearance could unify the young nation during a period of deep division. The lecture, as well as other weekend events in the region, are part of a year-long nationwide commemoration of Lafayette’s grand tour. A traveling exhibit will be on display in the Cloisters from 3:30 pm. 

Free and open to the public.  https://lafayette200.org/
