The Benjamin Gachet () House (historically spelled Gachette) is a historic residence on GA 18, 3 miles west of Barnesville, Georgia. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 17, 1997. The home is located at the crossing of Towns Road and old Alabama Road, now known as the Milner Cross Roads, originally used as trails by Native American tribes.〔 ==The General LaFayette connection== Benjamin Gachet was a French nobleman who fled from a revolution in San Domingo and settled in what is now Lamar County. A historical marker dedicated by the Lamar-LaFayette Chapter of N.S.D.A.R. is at the site,〔(Gachet Home Historical Marker ) Georgia Info (Historic Marker: GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1954)〕 stating that General Marquis de LaFayette stayed with Gachet at the home on March 19, 1825, during an official visit to Georgia. However, the general was still in Savannah on March 19, 1825. It has been determined that this visit to the Gachet House never occurred. LaFayette maintained detailed diaries of his travels and no record exists of this visit. The Indian trails that were traveled were more than 50 miles away, a considerable distance at the time. Additionally, Benjamin Gachet lived in Jones county adjacent to Baldwin county, where Milledgeville was being visited by General LaFayette in 1825. Historians surmise that the general visited Gachet around that time and location. So a family connection existed between the Gachets and the LaFayettes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Benjamin Gachet House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
