The Historic Lafayette Hotel draws
its name from the visit in 1825 of the Marquis de Lafayette, French
hero of the American Revolution. Lafayette landed at the "point" on
a boat named Herold. The towns people did not know of his plan to
visit here and were unprepared for his arrival. A prominent early
Marietta citizen, Nahum Ward, entertained him at his home. Lafayette
continued from Marietta through several communities to his final
destination of Boston, Massachusetts. A plaque near the Hotel marks
the spot where Lafayette came ashore in Marietta and today the
locals boast that the first tourist to visit Marietta was the
Marquis de Lafayette. The Lafayette Hotel, 101 Front St,
