Lafayette in Hudson! Confusion, Jealousy and One Glass of Wine

What happens when you plan an 1824 equivalent of a ticker-tape parade for a famous war hero but neighboring communities have similar plans on the same day? Hudson Area Library Trustees Joseph Ferris and Gary Sheffer explore Revolutionary War hero General Marquis de Lafayette’s 1824 visit to Hudson during his triumphant tour of America. They will further discuss the Frenchman’s frenzied time in Hudson, including how it was tied to local and national politics, including an allegedly “stolen” presidential election.
