Nutfield History

Last Saturday (6/21/25) The American Friends of Lafayette celebrated Revolutionary War General Marquis de Lafayette's 1825 visit to Derry with a reenactment and ceremony at the Adams Female Academy building, where Lafayette spoke 200 years ago.

Local historian Rick Holmes portrayed East Derry's General E.H. Derby and described how he and Lafayette had become great friends. A musket-firing color guard and representative Academy students were also part of the festive occasion.

Thanks to the Molly Reid Chapter, NSDAR and First Parish Church, East Derry NH for helping host. See more details in the comments.
