Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route in Connecticut
Covering 120 miles of trail, Connecticut's first National Historic Trail features historical societies, museums and interpretive panel locations across the state providing information on Connecticut towns along the route traveled by French troops in 1781 and 1782. In the summer of 1781, George Washington's troops and their French allies led by the conte de Rochambeau embarked on a epic 600-miles journey through nine states, from Rhode Island to Virginia, in a daring bid to gather French and American forces around Chesapeake Bay and capture the British army under Charles Cornwallis at Yorktown
