Welcome to the 12th of September 2023 show. Alas, I have returned from Hawaii. You'll enjoy the pleasure of me bringing you today's show under the mighty and annoying influence of jet lag. 

On Greenwich in the Gilded Age, our visit will take us to Foundation House at Old Mill Farm in Round Hill. Originally built as a "gentleman's estate" in 1927, 

Our journey is made possible on today's show by The Great Estates, Greenwich, Connecticut 1880-1929 by the Junior League of Greenwich. 

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 Life: As It Is -And Was, Lucien B. Edwards took his readers back in time and history to "a picturesque horse show" in the later 19th century. 

We continue to observe the 125th anniversary of the founding of the Greenwich Police Department on Crimes and Misdemeanors. 

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.
