This is part of a series on Lafayette’s visit to Massachusetts August 23, 1824 to September 3 1824.
The next stop was in front of Hezekiah Stone’s tavern with an escort of a large procession of citizens, headed by Captain Howe. The tavern was across from the very recently completed Christ Episcopal Church (1089 Stafford Street). Reverend Joseph Muenscher of the Episcopal Church spoke. Christ Episcopal was the first Episcopal church in Worcester County.
