Welcome to the 24th of October 2023 show.  

On Greenwich in the Gilded Ageour visit will take us to the Milbank Estate, where the greenhouses were opened to the public for a first-ever chrysanthemum show, with admissions slated to benefit Greenwich Library. 


October 9, 1920. 


On Greenwich Life: As It Is -And Was, Erwin Edwards shared his thoughts on the Town of Greenwich's emerging status as a wealthy community in 1920.


You'll hear a Halloween preview from 1907 as we countdown to our next show on Halloween 2023! You won't want to miss this one!


We'll have sad news about a man who was electrocuted on Putnam Hill, and a prediction for humanity's evolution in the form of the "Elevator Face," and why. 




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. For today's show, you'll learn about two women caught stealing apples from the Timmons Estate on Field Point Road. 


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.
