Lafayette Marker Dedication Ceremony 

General Lafayette was welcomed at Jackson's headquarters on the Battle of New Orleans battleground on April 10, 1825. The Lafayette Trail has erected a marker in his honor in front of the St. Bernard Parish courthouse. The Lafayette Trail's mission is to document, map, and mark General Lafayette's footsteps during his Farewell Tour of the United States in 1824 and 1825. It aims to educate the public about the national significance of Lafayette's Tour and to promote a broader understanding of Lafayette's numerous contributions to American independence and national coherence in preparation for the 2024-2025 tour bicentennial celebrations.
