Please join us at the Rye Historical Society for our newest temporary exhibition honoring the 200th anniversary of General Marquis de Lafayette’s tour of the United States in 1824-1825.

This traveling exhibit of six panels, on loan to us from the American Friends of Lafayette (AFL), will be on display in conjunction with items from our collection to showcase the amazing life and achievements of the esteemed General.

In partnership with the AFL, the historical society will be one of many organizations celebrating Marquis de Lafayette’s visit to our town of Rye on August 18th. Educational programming and activities will be hosted by the Rye Historical Society and the Rye Free Reading Room to celebrate the Bicentennial General’s visit to America.

Exhibition curated for all ages. 

The panels in this exhibition will be available for viewing at the Rye Historical Society until August 16th, when they will be on display at the Rye Free Reading Room for the August 18th celebration.

Exhibition is FREE and open Tuesday – Saturday, 10am to 4pm
