Please join the Richmond SAR in dedicating a historic marker honoring Susanna Bolling, a 16-year-old girl who saved General Lafayette from capture by British General Cornwallis.
When he quartered in her home, she overheard his plot to capture General Lafayette headquartered at the Half Way House, 10 miles away. Susanna snuck out, rode through the night and warned Lafayette who escaped.
Please gallop over to The Halfway House for a special menu on Sunday, April 27, honoring Susanna Bolling who will receive a historic marker for her daring midnight ride. Fun cocktails too- The Midnight Rider, Cornwallis’ Revenge, & Lafayette Lager!!! 🐎 📕 🍸 🍹 🍻
Opens at 11. Marker at 2. Celebrations continue.
