Sleep where Marquis de Lafayette once slept in this Adam-style period home. Some 40 years after voluntarily serving in the Revolutionary War and becoming BFFs with George Washington, President Madison invited Lafayette to a monthlong grand tour of America in 1824, and this Old Town charmer was a key place of lodging. Now, for the first time in decades, it’s on the market. Notable features include double parlors, a hanging staircase, and a third-floor library flooded with light. Oh, and a grand hall mural of our adopted French hero and his troops at West Point is thrown in, too.
