Remembering the Revolution

Remembering the Revolution

It was 240 years ago this year, in 1776, that the colonies declared their independence from British rule. Feelings ran high in Connecticut, which would later become known to Gen. Washington and other leaders as the Revolution’s “Provision State.” You can recall those remarkable days of long ago at any or all of the Connecticut revolutionary sites.
