It's the 23rd of May, 2023 show! Welcome! On Greenwich in the Gilded Age -that time when the word "Greenwich" became synonymous with the word "millionaire" - we'll visit Round Island on the Long Island Sound coast, made possible by the Junior League of Greenwich through its book The Great Estates: Greenwich, Connecticut, 1880-1930.
On The Judge's Corner, Judge Frederick A. Hubbard -also known as Ezekiel Lemondale- shares some yachting history in Greenwich.
Memorial Day has been observed in Greenwich for generations. We'll explore how, focusing on various years in the late-19th and early 20th centuries.
As we continue to mark the 125th anniversary of the establishment of the Greenwich Police Department, I’ll share news of burglaries, arrests and crimes committed and recorded from throughout Greenwich's history on Crimes and Misdemeanors.
You'll also hear about Nero the Lion, who broke loose at Washburn's Circus in downtown Greenwich in 1908; a street fair a century ago benefiting the Greenwich Hospital, the Emily Bruce Shelter and the East Port Chester (Byram) Nursery; how Judge Frederick A. Hubbard and Greenwich-based Undertaker Fred D. Knapp became "movie matinee idols" this week a century ago, thanks to the Bald Head Club of America and their appearance on the silver screens across the nation in 1923, and more.
Father's Day is on June 18. Make the Greenwich Historical Society's Museum Store your destination for that special gift for him. Located at 47 Strickland Road in Cos Cob -and online- it's the discerning shopper's destination for unique Father's Day gifts. Enjoy convenient online shopping and pickup, ample free parking, complimentary gift wrapping -and coffee or tea on-the-house in the Artist's Cafe.
There’s lots to see, to do, and to learn about the history of the Town of Greenwich.
