Town of Lebanon

The center of Lebanon resembles many picturesque New England villages, with a library, churches, and town hall clustered around the green. However, this town green is very different. A mile in length and with a major portion still in agricultural use, the Lebanon Green is unique due to its size, its preservation as an example of an early town settlement, and its association with significant events in the American Revolution. As the home of the War Governor, the town was the focal point of Connecticut's contributions to the patriot cause, earning Lebanon its place in history as "the heartbeat of the Revolution."
