Saturday June 18, 2016 Connecticut Independence Day CTSSAR 240th Anniversary Commemoration of Connecticut's "Declaration of Independence" (June 18, 1776) The Revolutionary Spirit was evident in Connecticut, when on June 16, 1776, the General Assembly directed our delegates to the Continental Congress, meeting in Philadelphia, to vote for Independence. This was followed two days later with a Proclamation by Jonathan Trumbull, the Patriot Governor, which has become known as Connecticut's "Declaration of Independence". 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM - 1st of 4 Special Events/Exhibits at the War Office, Lebanon, This was the 4th time we commemorated "Connecticut Independence Day" at the War Office. Saturday July 23, 2016 Lafayette Day CTSSAR 236th Anniversary Commemoration of the Marquis de Lafayette's visit to Lebanon, and the letter he wrote to General George Washington while staying in Lebanon at the house of Governor Jonathan Trumbull, Sr. (July 20, 1780). 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM - 2nd of 4 Special Events/Exhibits at the War Office, Lebanon, We had 4 visitors at the War Office that day. This was the second time we commemorated Lafayette's visit to Lebanon, the first time was back in 2007 when we commemorated the 250th Anniversary of his birth. In 2007 we had a Lafayette display at the War Office, which included a copy of a letter he wrote to Gen. George Washington while staying with Gov. Jonathan Trumbull in Lebanon on July 20, In 2007 we also held joint ceremonies with the Connecticut Society of the Cincinnati at the Lafayette Statue in Hartford.

CTSSAR 381st Anniversary Commemoration of Connecticut ( ) 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM - 3rd of 4 Special Events/Exhibits at the War Office, Lebanon,
3 This was the second time we ran the Puritan to Patriot Exhibit. The first time was back in 2010 when the event was listed as part of the 375th Anniversary of the State of Connecticut Official Events. This is an outdoor exhibit of military arms and armor that would have been used by the Connecticut military from the founding to the American Revolution. It was well attended both times. We had 27 visitors to the War Office at this years event.

Ledyard Marker, Fort Griswold Battlefield State Park, Groton, 4:00 PM - Connecticut SAR Wreath Ceremony at the gravesite of Col. William Ledyard, Col. Ledyard Cemetery, Groton, The NSSAR 235th Anniversary Commemoration of the Battle of Groton Heights (September 6, 1781) was held September 4, 2016 at Fort Griswold Battlefield State Park and at the Col. William Ledyard Cemetery in Groton, The CTSSAR placed two wreaths, one at the Col. Ledyard memorial stone inside Fort Griswold, and one at Col. William Ledyard's gravesite in the Col. William Ledyard Cemetery. This year marked 20 years of CTSSAR color guard participation in Revolutionary War battle reenactments/encampments, commemoration ceremonies, education programs, etc., at Fort Griswold Battlefield State Park. This year also marked the 4th year of official NSSAR Historic Site and Celebration status. The first national event recognized in It also marked 4 years of CTSSAR ceremonies, separate and in addition to the annual Friends of Fort Griswold Ceremonies which we have participated in annually since With all of the hurricane/tropical storm mania, and some media confusion on what events were canceled, etc., we had 73 visitors at our 3:00 PM ceremony at Fort Griswold, and 17 visitors at our 4:00 PM ceremony at the Col. William Ledyard Cemetery. The Friends of Fort Griswold canceled their 6:30 PM wreath ceremony/candlelight vigil. CTSSAR color guard participation after 4 years is still very high... and continues to be one of our best attended events, a good sign for the future Connecticut Line CTSSAR attending (18 muskets) Connecticut Line CTSSAR attending (16 muskets) Connecticut Line CTSSAR attending (10 muskets)
4 Connecticut Line CTSSAR attending (9 muskets) The Commander of the FLSSAR Sons of Liberty Chapter Color Guard participated in the ceremonies. We would also have had two members of the OHSSAR Color Guard participating if not for the predicted bad weather. Several Connecticut SAR members were in attendance, but I would still like to see greater CTSSAR member attendance, being a National SAR event. The Connecticut SAR also had a photo published in the September 5, 2016 edition of the New London Day newspaper. Saturday September 17, 2016 Constitution Day in the Constitution State CTSSAR 229th Anniversary Commemoration of the United States Constitution (September 17, 1787) 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM - 4th of 4 Special Events/Exhibits at the War Office, Lebanon, This was the first time, at least in a VERY long time, that CTSSAR commemorated Constitution Day.

John Trumbull) of Connecticut hero, Lieutenant- Colonel Thomas Knowlton (Commander of Knowlton's Rangers).
