George Washington in Connecticut
In May of 1781, George Washington, the comte de Rochambeau, and Governor Trumbull met in Wethersfield, Connecticut. They not only attended a concert at the Meeting House, and had dinner together at Stillman's Tavern, but had an important meeting at the Webb House to discuss plans that would later lead to the victory at Yorktown.
