The America Revolutionary Institute hosted an event to mark the 300th birthday of the comte de Rochambeau, commander-in-chief of the French's 1780 expeditionary force sent to aid the Continental Army during the American War of Independence.
As well as French pastries, musical entertainment and other fun-stuff the evening included a keynote lecture by Iris de Rode of the University of Virginia.
