Presentation by Dr. Larry KrumenakerBased on the book:
Nine Days Traveling, Lafayette’s 1825 Alabama Tour, Today’s
Historical Road Trip
In 1824-5 the last living Major General of the Revolutionary War, the Marquis de Lafayette, came to Alabama by invitation of its governor. After crossing the Chattahoochee River and the Creek Nation of East Alabama, stopping in Montgomery and the Capital, Cahaba, Lafayette took the ‘high tech,” 13 miles per hour steamboat to Mobile and Mobile Point.
Where did he go? What did he do and see? And how can the modern historically interested traveler retrace his steps, without tripping over the lore that says where he went—but did not go!? Come to Oakleigh House Museum and hear the tales!
