INDEX TO HISTORY

 RELIGIOUS INFORMATION:  

 BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION:


"Natives of eastern Connecticut like to say that except for Boston and Philadelphia, the village of Lebanon stands first in America in Revolutionary importance. While that may sound like typical small-town puffery, the remark contains a large measure of truth.

. . . Even the landscape of the town is superlative. It's mile-long, hundred acre green is the largest such swath in New England. What makes a visit to Lebanon, located about thirty miles southeast of Hartford and twenty miles north of New London, remarkable is that it takes so little imagination to get a sense of history there. . . . More surprising, little seems to have been added. The town still looks remarkably as it did in the eighteenth century, when it was a few frame houses hammered together against the wilderness.

Settlers began filtering into the hardwood forests and swamps that mark east-central Connecticut in the 1660s, and by 1705 Lebanon claimed ninety taxable citizens."
