George Washington Slept Here - Or Did He? (Ep. 104)

George Washington made 10 trips through Connecticut during his life – from his younger years to his time commanding the Continental Army, and finally as the first U.S. President. While he traveled through numerous CT communities, there are only about 10 houses still standing where he actually spent at least one night, although there are many more claims about where he stayed. Listen to this episode to separate the fact from fiction and for stories about Washington’s travels through CT – several of them critical to the outcome of the Revolutionary War – from an expert on that period, Dr. Robert Selig.
