Lafayette in the Somewhat United States

Marking the 200th anniversary of the Marquise de Lafayette’s visit to the Berkshires, New York Times-bestselling author Sarah Vowell joins us for a online conversation on April 8. Vowell’s book, Lafayette in the Somewhat United States, explores the patriot founders’ alliance with France as personified by the teenage volunteer in George Washington’s army, the Marquis de Lafayette.

Part of the Berkshires250 and Lafayette200 celebrations, this event is presented in partnership with OLLI at Berkshire Community College and Housatonic Heritage.
