Sumner Mansion, 4 Station Rd, Hartland

Hartland — 9:00 am Lafayette travelled in a carriage, or barouche, provided by David Sumner of
Hartland. Sumner was a businessman who built a beautiful home where Lafayette may have
stopped to pay his respects on the way from Windsor to Woodstock. The current owners of the
Sumner mansion will sponsor a reception honoring the visit. Town histories mention that
Hartland schoolchildren all learned about Lafayette’s visit for many years afterward.
