Lafayette's visit to Germantown, July 20, 1825; an address delivered before the Pennsylvania Genealogical Society, March 1, 1909, the Pennsylvania Historical Society, May 10, 1909, the Site and Relic Society of Germantown, May 20, 1910, the City History Society of Philadelphia, January 11, 1911 . LAFAYETTES VISIT heights opposite what is now Conshohocken, before the British army could come up withthem. Among the buildings at Barren Hill is aquaint old tavern, the eaves of which for morethan a hundred years have been occupied byfamilies of martins. They were there whenthe confusion of troops and the rattle of mus-ketry surrounded the inn on those days of middleMay, 1778, and they have been there every sum-mer since up to two years ago, when for the firsttime within the memories of four generationsthey did not come.
