We are back -and glad to be here!
On the September 29, 2021 show we will take our listeners on an excursion into Greenwich, Connecticut history like none you've experienced before.
What's in store?
The Pryory in Field Point Circle is a one-of-a-kind 'Great Estate' mansion with a fascinating reputation and remarkable history. This 12,000 square foot home was designed in circa 1916 by the renowned architectural firm Cross & Cross in the spirit of an English countryside estate. You'll hear about those who lived here -including one who welcomed the likes of Charles Lindbergh and other aviators who flew their seaplane in and out of Greenwich Harbor.
A century ago, an inspector of the Connecticut Police department single-handedly prevented a catastrophic accident involving a team of agitated runaway horses.
On the evening of September 30, 2021, the Greenwich Historical Society will be convening its 90th annual meeting at the Belle Haven Club. David Ogilvy will be granted posthumously the Greenwich Historical Society's first David Ogilvy Preservation Award, recognizing his contributions to historic preservation in Greenwich. We'll share a special tribute.
Colonel Raynal Bolling's memorial near the Havemeyer Building on Greenwich Avenue is known to many. But did you know that another, unique memorial to Col. Bolling is in California?
A gasoline advertisement reminds us in the 21st century that there were those one hundred years ago who were preoccupied with "carbon."
David Boles -a Greenwich cafe owner on Lewis Street took his shoes a century ago in 1921 to be cleaned and shined -forgetting that he left $2000 in large denominations inside. What happened?
There's always something happening in Greenwich, Connecticut. We'll share news of events you and other members of the public can attend.
