Celebration of Lafayette’s 1824 visit to Fluvanna

Step back in time to 1824 to celebrate one of the American Revolution’s icons, Marquis de Lafayette. Period Costumes or Patriotic Dress is encouraged! This outdoor celebration will be held rain or shine, and we encourage you to bring your own chair.

Outdoor festivities that will follow the dedication include singing of period and patriotic songs, dancing the Virginia Reel with the Fluvanna Flutterwheels, games, and a buffet that includes foods that would have been enjoyed by the group of Fluvanna Citizens in 1824.
