On March 23, 1825, the Marquis de Lafayette arrived in Augusta, Georgia during his tour of United States. This year we celebrate the the 200th Anniversary of his visit. Lafayette was born to the pinnacle of French society yet gave up his comfortable life to fight for a cause — our American cause. He chose to live in hard conditions to fight in a foreign war. As we remember his visit to Augusta and his American tour, we honor his contributions to our struggle for liberty.
