The Lebanon Green Historic District encompasses the historic town center of Lebanon, Connecticut. It extends along the nearly mile-long town green, including historic buildings that face it, as well as a few on nearby streets. The green is bounded on its north by Connecticut Route 87 and on the south by West Town Street, and extends from a junction with Connecticut Route 289 to a triangular point south of Connecticut Route 207. The district includes a number of prominent civic and religious buildings, including the town hall, library, and Congregational church, although these are all 20th century buildings (the church is a reconstructed Federal style brick structure). Prominent buildings including the National Historic Landmark John Trumbull Birthplace and the 1730 War Office (in which many meetings of the state's military council were held during the American Revolutionary War).
The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. The Alden Tavern Site (now a parking lot, but recognized for its archaeological potential) is a contributing property.
