The Marquis de Lafayette was a key figure in both the American and French revolutions. His close relationship with John Adams, the second President of the United States, spanned many years. Their meeting at Peace field 200 years ago is an important event in the shared history of the two nations.

Visitors to the park on this day will have the opportunity to ‘meet’ John Adams and Lafayette, likely through historical reenactments or character presentations. More information about the event can be found on the National Park Service’s website.
