Before American independence was declared, local residents were already taking a stand. In 1775, the Liberty Point Resolves expressed their determination to defend their rights against abuses by the British government—and now, the Lafayette Society is helping bring that important piece of Fayetteville history back into the spotlight.

📜 The Fall 2026 Lafayette Lecture will explore the Liberty Point Resolves and the community project preserving their story through research, a book, documentary film and educational resources.

As America commemorates its 250th anniversary, discover how Fayetteville residents played a role in the story of the Revolution—and how local historians are making sure their voices aren't forgotten:
