About Lebanon
What it's like to live here
Lebanon is a New London County town of about 7,100 people spread across 55 square miles of farmland, woods and ponds between Colchester, Willimantic and Norwich. Route 87 reaches downtown Willimantic in about 15 minutes, downtown Norwich is about 20 minutes away, and Route 2 crosses the south end of town toward Hartford, about 45 minutes west. Farms, stone walls and large lots set the tone, and the town center is still a working green.
Lebanon calls itself the Heartbeat of the Revolution. Governor Jonathan Trumbull, the only colonial governor to side with the Patriots, ran Connecticut's war effort from the War Office on the Green, where his Council of Safety met more than 1,100 times, and the Duc de Lauzun's French cavalry spent the winter of 1780 to 1781 here. William Williams, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, also lived on the Green. The Green was laid out in 1697, runs more than a mile, and is one of the largest left in New England and likely the only one still used for agriculture.
Our Colchester office at 392 South Main Street is about 9 miles from the Lebanon Green, roughly 17 minutes. Our agents live and sell here.
