Lebanon is a farming town built around a mile-long historic green, and a ticket on Route 87 or Route 207 is heard at Norwich Superior Court (GA21).
Lebanon is a rural town in eastern Connecticut’s New London County, and at its center lies one of the most remarkable spaces in New England: a town green nearly a mile long, among the largest anywhere in the region and, by local account, the only one still regularly worked for agriculture. That green is more than scenery β it is the stage on which Lebanon played a role in the American Revolution far out of proportion to its size, a role that earned the town its nickname, the “Heartbeat of the Revolution.”
The reason was a man: Jonathan Trumbull, who served as governor through the war and was the only sitting colonial governor to side with the Revolution against the Crown. From his War Office facing the green, Trumbull ran Connecticut’s Council of Safety, which met more than a thousand times between 1775 and 1783 to plan strategy and to supply the Continental Army β so central to the war effort that the modest clapboard building has been called the “Pentagon of the Revolution.” Washington, Henry Knox, Lafayette, and Rochambeau all passed through, and over the winter of 1780β81 the Duc de Lauzun’s French cavalry encamped on the Lebanon green before marching south toward the decisive campaign in Virginia.
That history is still standing. The Governor Trumbull House, the Jonathan Trumbull Jr. House, the William Williams House β Williams was a signer of the Declaration of Independence β and the Wadsworth Stable cluster around the green, open to visitors who come to walk the same ground as the founders. Beyond the historic center, Lebanon remains what it has always been: a working agricultural town of farms, fields, and open land, one of the most rural in its part of the state.
The town’s traffic runs on a pair of country routes. Route 87 runs north and south and Route 207 east and west, both passing along or across the great green and connecting Lebanon to Colchester, Willimantic, and Norwich. These open roads see steady through traffic and periodic enforcement, with citations turning up along the faster stretches. We follow these roads and the equipment used along them, which is generally where the violations described below begin.

Connecticut has two very different camera systems watching drivers. One mails you a $50 fine. The other, Flock, feeds police investigations. Here's how to tell them apart.
Read Article βYou're not required to hire one, but a ticket can carry more than a fine β points on your license and a possible insurance increase. An attorney who handles Connecticut traffic matters can review your options and frequently appear for you so you don't have to take time off.
Continuances buy time but don't resolve anything on their own. Pushing the case off again and again usually just stretches it out. It's generally better to have the ticket reviewed and a real strategy chosen.
Lebanon is served by Norwich Superior Court (GA21), the geographical-area courthouse that handles motor-vehicle matters for the town and the surrounding eastern Connecticut communities.
For many traffic matters an attorney can appear at the Norwich courthouse on your behalf, so you may not need to make the drive yourself. We can review your ticket and explain what your appearance would involve.
Depending on the violation and your record, a conviction can add points to your Connecticut license and may affect your insurance. How serious that is depends on the specifics, which is why it helps to review the ticket before deciding how to handle it.
Free phone consultation. Flat fee. We do the rest β most clients never set foot in court.
