Lafayette Tour Marker, Worcester, Massachusetts (MA-119)

140 MA-70
Worcester, MA 01605
United States

President James Monroe invited the Marquis de Lafayette to visit the United States, his adopted country. Lafayette’s tour of all 24 states in 1824 and 1825 drew large crowds and sparked a renewal of patriotism. During the �� Revolution, Lafayette’s intense advocacy of the �� cause convinced King Louis XVI of France to send troops and ships, which proved crucial to the �� victory at Yorktown.

Lafayette arrived in Worcester on the morning of Friday, September 3, 1824, traveling westward from Bolton. He was formally welcomed by the citizens of Worcester, who had prepared a large public reception. Worcester’s turnout was significant: civic leaders, militia companies, and veterans of the Revolution, along with large crowds, lined the route.
