Lafayette

Here stood the George Frederick Beckel house, 1762-1872, famed as the place where General Lafayette convalesced from a leg wound suffered at the Battle of Brandywine, 1777. Beckel was then superintendent of the community farm here in Bethlehem.

Marker is at the intersection of Main Street and Walnut Street, on the right when traveling north on Main Street.
