Search Lebanon Connecticut

Restored home (1769) of the governor of Connecticut from 1798 to 1809.

Jonathan Trumbull Junior served as Governor of Connecticut. He was one of the four sons of Revolutionary War Governor Jonathan Trumbull Senior. Jonathan Trumbull Junior's Georgian-style house was probably built sometime in the early 1760s by his father, Jonathan Trumbull Sr. Historians generally agree that this was the house where General Washington stayed the night of March 4-5, 1781, when he passed through Lebanon on his way to Newport, R.I., to meet with General Rochambeau. Rochambeau was the leader of the French army sent by Louis XVI to help the United States in its battle for independence from Great Britain.
