Washington Returns
to Montville after 211 years

Montville - The last time George Washington was in Montville, the calendar showed 1780, when he stayed at the Doremus House, on Main Street awaiting news of the battle of Springfield. This time he is back for a visit to celebrate his Birthday which is February 11th on the old calendar.
