They did all the filming, research and copywriting themselves. No budget other than a small honorarium for each student. Here is part one (6'35) dealing with the planning for and the construction of the Arsenal. Learn more at

Lafayette Trail
In March of 1825, the citizens of Fayetteville, North Carolina, were honored by a two-day visit from the famous French proponent of liberty and hero of the American Revolutionary War, the marquis de Lafayette. In his speech of welcome, Judge Toomer proclaimed Never, never can we forget the youthful stranger who, in the darkest hour of adversity, so generously flew to our succor, and so gallantly fought the battle of freedom. Fayetteville had been named for Lafayette by the North Carolina General Assembly in 1783. It was the very first city in America named for him and the only namesake city that he actually visited.
