Welcome to the 15th of August 2023 show.
On Greenwich in the Gilded Age, our visit will take us to Seven Gables in Belle Haven. Built in 1891 at 1 Harbor Drive. Its principal owner was Edward N. Norton, "a golf and yachting aficionado who in 1892 built a magical, dark stained, shingled, English cottage...with seven acutely peaked gables, facing towards various points of the compass."
Our journey is made possible on today's show by Victorian Summer: The Historic Houses of Belle Haven Park, Greenwich, Connecticut by Matt Bernard.
It is available for purchase at the Greenwich Historical Society's Museum Store, or copies may be borrowed through the Greenwich Library. It is richly illustrated, revealing a wealth of detailed history. I strongly recommend it.
On Greenwich Before 2000 we'll look back at 1945-1946.
We continue to observe the 125th anniversary of the founding of the Greenwich Police Department on Crimes and Misdemeanors.
What else?
There’s lots to see, to do, and to learn about the history of the Town of Greenwich.
You’ve come to the right place to learn about the history of the Town of Greenwich, Connecticut, one of America's most interesting and extraordinary communities.
