Continue the journey of Lafayette’s 1824 itinerary by taking a ticketed motor coach tour of 7 venues connected to Lafayette’s visit. Enjoy the living history description of these sites by popular Baltimore Heritage Tour Guide Bradley Alston. Beginning and ending at the Maryland Center for History and Culture (MCHC), enjoy this 3-hour coach bus tour to see where Lafayette received an honorary degree at Davidge Hall and learn about his relationship to Edgar Allan Poe’s family on the University of Maryland/Baltimore campus. (Note: Attendees will travel by foot for 2 blocks between these two venues; refreshments will be provided). Re-board the motor coach and travel to the east side of 19th century Baltimore to see where he visited museums and churches built in the early 1800s, sumptuously dined at a prominent Baltimore citizen’s town home, and toured the initial construction of the first-ever monument to his “adopted” father at the Washington Monument at Mount Vernon Place.
Guests will enjoy a 15% discount by booking a combined bus tour + speaker luncheon ticket package on October 8th.
