The Marquis de Lafayette.

Lafayette Bicentennial and Founders Day. Friday-Saturday, June 13 and 14, 2025. This weekend extravaganza will combine the Town’s annual Founders Day celebration with the bicentennial of the Marquis de Lafayette’s overnight stay in Worthington on June 13, 1825. A historically-themed dance will be held Friday night. Saturday will include not just the usual Founders Day pot luck dinner under a tent on the WHS lawn, but also period music, period food, family activities, and a re-enactment of General Lafayette’s visit to Worthington in a horse-drawn carriage during his national tour.
