Allow me to reintroduce myself. Hi! I am Kat. It’s not short for anything. I am an enhanced redhead ( born this way) who loves Lafayette, American history, Genealogy, Salem Witch Trials, gothic stuff, Disney, and wearing wigs. I recently got reading glasses. #nerdlife #lafayette

The Princess of Wales, serving her country.

The Princess of Wales’ hair today!😍🤩

America. Made In Virginia. From its founding ideals to its leading figures, more of what made America happen, happened here in Virginia. Which makes Virginia the ideal place to learn about our nation’s beginnings, no matter what state you call home.

This was one of the funniest moments behind the scenes. Watching Mark ride on Ajax and throw the javelin without hitting us 😂

UNBELIEVABLE! On the grounds of the White House Lafayette Park. No different than Jan 6. Why would Law Enforcement allow this ? Why were these monuments not fenced before the protest?

Diego de Gardoqui was commissioned to oversee Spain’s support of American colonies during the Revolutionary War. ⁣He was then appointed Spain’s first ambassador to the Continental Congress and attended George Washington's inauguration. Learn more: bit.ly/46PoSAa

After British General John Burgoyne surrendered to American General Horatio Gates, the Convention Army as it was called, was marched to Cambridge, Massachusetts under guard by John Glover's troop. They arrived on 8 November 1777. The rank and file was quartered in crude barracks that had been constructed during the Siege of Boston, while most of the officers were billeted in houses. The army spent about one year in Cambridge under the watch of General William Heath, while negotiations concerning its status took place in military and diplomatic channels. It was a difficult and trying assignment for Heath. His diary is full of letters he received from officers, including General John Burgoyne, filled with complaints and demands. Heath handled it all with professional patience. In November 1778, the Convention Army was forced marched from Cambridge, Massachusetts, 700-miles south to Albemarle Barracks in Charlottesville, Virginia. They arrived in January 1779. Burgoyne did not share this fate, as he and some officers succeeded in gaining permission to return to Europe on parole. A year and a half after the October 17, 1777 surrender at Saratoga, the Convention Army was bleeding deserters, with only about 1,450 British and 1,650 German officers and soldiers remaining.

#Flintlocksframes from the Lexington Battle Green. Thanks Alex Rubenstein for capturing these awesome moments!

@ThePrimaryClone Breaks my heart. Open a book kids. Please.

@kat_marsh_smith It’s just sickening. Tells you who we’re up against.

The Marquis De Lafayette was An abolitionist, advocate for universal human rights, and Women’s rights advocate. I am beyond words here….

@ellencarmichael @Julio_Rosas11 Universal human rights. Abolitionist. Women’s rights. He stood up to the found fathers in 1824-1825 59 years after the Revolution to get them to end slavery. They need to go read a book.

People are starting to gather at Freedom Plaza for today’s pro-Palestine rally in Washington, D.C., they are calling for a ceasefire.

Was this anyone else's initial thought when they first saw this meme format? Just us? Cool. #NationalTreasure
