Marquis Marie de Lafayette at Louisville, Kentucky

When I was walking to the riverfront yesterday for Thunder Over Louisville I came across this bust on Liberty Street of Marquis Marie de Lafayette. He was a French military officer who helped Americans in the Revolutionary War. I did not know Lafayette visited Louisville, Kentucky in 1825.

This was a very nice gift to the city of Louisville from the people of France.
