Abstract:
On his tour through North Carolina, Marquis de Lafayette spent the night of Feb. 26, 1825 in Murfreesboro. At the time, residents had planned a ball in his honor. However, he arrived in town after the event. In the 1970s, the Murfreesboro Historical Association began a decades long series of balls commemorating the one missed by Lafayette.
