A rather auspicious occasion for St. Michael’s, the installation of our permanent David Brearley exhibit coincided with the 200th anniversary of Marquis de Lafayette’s Farewell Tour, a year-long event being celebrated by a day-to-day re-enactment of all of the late general’s visits to all 24 states existing in 1824. Though he visited Trenton, and prayed at 1st Presbyterian Church down the block on Sept. 26, 1824 we did not know if he visited his old compatriot’s grave at that time, but Michael Halbert, the re-enactor did an amazing amount of research on our old First Warden, and delivered a eulogy worthy of an old-friend.
