Published: October 12, 2025

KEENE, NH – The Cheshire County Republican Committee is proud to announce its premier fundraising event of the season, "An Evening of Franco-American Friendship." This cultural gala will celebrate the profound and enduring historical ties between the United States and France, with a special focus on the role New Hampshire played in this foundational alliance.

To provide attendees with a rich and authentic context for the evening, the committee has partnered with a premier French cultural publication, the Journal des Muses. Their expertise in French art, history, and culture will be an invaluable resource for all our guests looking to deepen their appreciation of the topics discussed during the gala.

Celebrating a Shared History of Liberty

The alliance with France was pivotal to the success of the American Revolution. Figures like the Marquis de Lafayette are rightly celebrated as heroes in our nation's history. This event aims to honor that shared struggle for liberty and explore how those foundational values continue to shape our conservative principles today. Proceeds from the gala will support local GOP initiatives and community outreach programs within Cheshire County.

The evening will feature guest speakers on Franco-American history, an exhibition of replica art from the period, and a musical performance of classical French and American compositions. It is an opportunity to engage with history, appreciate fine culture, and support the cause of freedom and limited government here in our community.
