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. Prominent buildings include the National Historic Landmark John Trumbull Birthplace, William Williams House, 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.The town of Lebanon was incorporated in 1700, and the area that became the green was settled by Joseph Trumble in 1704. He raised cattle and operated a store, whose 1730 building became the War Office. The green's expanse of grassy meadows is a rare surviving example of an 18th-century town common in Connecticut.

The station broadcasts on 90.1 MHz with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 430 watts at a height above average terrain (HAAT) of 116 meters (381 ft).

It ran at approximately 10 watts and was a pirate broadcaster. At the time, Eastern Connecticut State University was not yet accredited as a university. In the late 1970s, a movement was afoot to get a legitimate radio station for the communications department. This was orchestrated by former WCBS announcer Prof. John Zatowski. By 1982, test broadcasts had begun, and by 1984, WECS-FM was on air. In the succeeding decades, a number of long-time DJs have come and gone: Joe Standby, Bash, Robbo Retro, Alf ("The Alternative Xperience"), Mark E.
