Lafayette is one of Ginkgo's top-selling flatware patterns, and with good reason. While the pieces are elegant enough for a formal occasion, the hammered finish on the handles provides a casual, almost handmade appeal. The handles taper from a slender neck to a rounded tab end which lifts up off the table. The spoon bowls are squared off for a contemporary look, the forks feature extra-long tines, and the knife is constructed of one solid piece.
This 45-piece set includes eight place settings, each consisting of a 9-1/2-inch dinner knife, 8-inch dinner fork, 7-inch salad fork, 7-1/2-inch soup spoon, and 6-3/8-inch teaspoon. Accessorizing the settings to complete a well-coordinated table is a five-piece hostess set, comprised of a 9-inch serving spoon, 9-inch pierced spoon, 8-1/4-inch cold meat fork, 7-inch pointed butter knife, and 7-inch sauce or gravy ladle. Brightly polished, Lafayette is made of moderately priced 18/10 stainless steel and is dishwasher-safe, making it ideal for everyday use. A family-owned business since 1977, Ginkgo International is dedicated to quality design and value when it comes to flatware for the home. --Ann Bieri

Organized November 16, 1820, the first Lafayette County courthouse was built in 1825; it was replaced in 1832, and that building was replaced by the current courthouse in 1847.
The cupola was part of the original construction, but the clock was installed in 1886.
The cannonball still embedded in the top of the leftmost column may have come from a Yankee cannon as the Confederate headquarters were near the courthouse during the Civil War's Battle of Lexington, or as the local's call it, The Battle of the Hemp Bales. There is a live re-enactment of this battle every three years.
Even though the Union forces surrendered, the victory did not lead to Missouri seceding from the Union as the Confederacy had hoped.

When the Marquis de Lafayette ran off to join the American Revolution against the explicit orders of the king of France, he was a strong-willed nineteen-year-old who had never set foot on a battlefield. Although the U.S. Congress granted him an honorary commission only out of respect for his title and wealth, Lafayette quickly earned the respect of his fellow officers with his bravery, devotion to the cause of liberty, and incredible drive.

Playing a pivotal role in the Revolution, Lafayette convinced the French government to send troops, made crucial pacts with Native Americans, and lead his men to victory at Yorktown. This thrilling account of a daring soldier will fascinate young historians. Source notes, bibliography, time line, index.
