"I may err, notwithstanding my most strenuous efforts to execute the difficult trust with fidelity and unexceptionably; but my errors shall be of the head, not of the heart." – George Washington, letter to Benjamin Harrison, Mount Vernon, March 9, 1789; Fitzpatrick 30:224-225

Have you HEARD? The Lafayette Bicentennial 2025 ⚜️ Coming soon to a venue near you!

Two hundred years ago TODAY, Lafayette boarded the American ship Cadmus, in Havre-de-Grâce, France for his Farewell Tour of America.

Thirty-two days later, the Cadmus anchored off the coast of New Jersey as Lafayette gazed upon the shores of the United States for the first time in forty years.

Scheduled to stay just a few months, Lafayette visited all 24 states and stayed for over one year. 6,000 miles. 400 days. A tour in the grandest style.

Fasten your seat belts folks as we start our Lafayette Bicentennial in thirty-two days.

Commemorate - Celebrate - Educate

Vive Lafayette !

History tidbit for the day! White Chimneys was originally Chester County until the formation of Lancaster County in 1729! 🌹

Pop Quiz: How did Lancaster County get its name, and who named it? When Lancaster County was erected on May 10, 1729, with land carved out of Chester County's western frontier, it needed a courthouse, jail, county seat, and name.

The honor was given to John Wright, owner and operator of Wright's Ferry. Wright was instrumental in developing the area. In fact, Wright petitioned William Penn's son to create the new county. Wright suggested the name Lancaster in honor of his home in Lancaster, England. The idea was supported and quickly adopted.

Fun Fact: Out of the original Lancaster County, York, Cumberland, Berks, Northumberland, Dauphin, and Lebanon Counties were later formed. Learn more at https://unchartedlancaster.com/lancaster-county-formed-to-rid-chester-of-its-thieves-vagabonds-and-ill-people/

"On Sept. 12, 1777, the day after the Battle of Brandywine, Lafayette penned a letter to his wife, Adrienne, telling her that “… the English honored me with a musket shot, which wounded me slightly in the leg. But the wound is nothing, dear heart; the ball hit neither bone nor nerve, and all I have to do for it to heal is to lie on my back for a while – which puts me in very bad humor.”

He was nursed back to health by the Moravian Brethren in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Lafayette was touched by “the gentle religion” of the Moravians. He saw them as an “innocent family” that managed to maintain its “community of goods, education and interests” despite the devastating war around them.

Lafayette was anxious to recover so he could return to the battlefield. He would get his first command at the Battle of Gloucester, New Jersey, on Nov. 25 and 26, 1777.

Operating under General Nathanael Greene, he was sent out on a reconnaissance mission to determine the location and strength of Cornwallis’ army. Lafayette led 350 men toward the British position. He carefully scouted the British camp, at times personally coming within firing range of British sentries. He then led his men in a surprise attack on a forward picket of jaegers.

The 400 Hessians were caught completely unprepared and began a disorganized fighting retreat toward the main British camp, with Lafayette and his men giving chase. Cornwallis sent some grenadiers to provide covering fire as the Germans retreated. Lafayette withdrew under cover of darkness, returning to Greene.

Lafayette’s reconnaissance was a success, with only one killed and five wounded, against 60 casualties on the British side."
