About This Vintage Postcard
This postcard features the parlor in the historic home of Connecticut’s Revolutionary War governor, Jonathan Trumbull, in Lebanon, Connecticut. A key figure in the American cause, the governor famously hosted prominent leaders such as John and Samuel Adams, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, General Rochambeau, and the Marquis de Lafayette.
There is a quiet, steady stillness in this room, the kind that only centuries of shared secrets and flickering firelight can create. You can almost hear the soft scratching of a quill against parchment at the desk or the muffled, rhythmic ticking of a clock somewhere down the hall. It is a scene that asks you to slow your breathing and imagine the low murmur of voices, perhaps those of Washington or Franklin, discussing a young nation's future by the warmth of those very brick.
