Made of heavy-duty glass, this handsome paperweight commemorates the Revolutionary War hero from France and the very first town or city in the United States to be named after him. 1783 indicates the year that the North Carolina general assembly named the merged towns of Campbellton and Cross Creek in honor of Lafayette. 1825 was the year in which Lafayette visited Fayetteville, NC. In spite of the many places named in his honor by then, Fayetteville was the only namesake town or city that Lafayette actually visited.
