Period of The
Revolutionary War
1775 - 1783
In memoriam to our fathers who fought in the revolution for justice and liberty.
When the war broke out this town contributed the one loyal governor, Brother Jonathan Trumbull, who among all the governors of the thirteen colonies was the only one who stood staunch and true to the American cause. Washington relied on him in the most trying circumstances — William Williams, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, was born in Lebanon, the home of the Council of Safety - - We take a just pride in the noble achievements of our
men who served in the Revolution - - they were eminently God fearing and true Patriots.
