Welcome to the 26th of September 2023 show.
On Greenwich in the Gilded Age, our visit will take us to Round Island in Belle Haven, on the shore of Long Island Sound. This "Great Estate" was designed originally by Henry C. Pelton for John D. Chapman in 1908. The architect for renovations dated 1924-1934 were by E. Spencer Guidal.
Our journey is made possible on today's show by The Great Estates, Greenwich, Connecticut 1880-1930 by the Junior League of Greenwich.
Copies may be borrowed through Greenwich Library. Superbly illustrated with a wealth of detailed history, I strongly recommend it.
On Greenwich Life: As It Is -And Was, Lucien Edwards penned a piece for the Greenwich News & Graphic on Greenwich's earliest train commuters.
In 1906, the Greenwich Police Department was founded. We're pleased to take our listeners back in time on Crimes and Misdemeanors, a segment of the show chronicling crime and law enforcement.
The people of Greenwich learned of predictions that "human beings will be equipped with wings," and of Walter Lewisohn, a wealthy businessman who checked himself into Blythewood Sanitarium -where First Baptist Church of Greenwich on Stanwich Road is now located. Why?
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.
We’ll have all this -and more- as our history continues to unfold.
