Our Heroes of Two Worlds: Monroe, LaFayette, and the Death of Thomas Jefferson – July 4, 1826 at Fort Monroe (Hampton)

July 4 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

July 4, 2026 at 10 am – Near Flagstaff Bastion

Join us as we use the 195th anniversary of President James Monroe’s death to examine how his relationships and interpersonal influences shaped the personal development of the 5th president of the United States. Learn as we explore Monroe’s strong yet little-known friendship with Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette, and the impact of Thomas Jefferson’s death on July 4, 1826.

In partnership with the James Monroe Memorial Foundation
