Welcome to the 28th of November 2023 show. 


On Greenwich in the Gilded Age, we’ll visit Hutchins Cottage at 78 Mayo Avenue in Belle Haven. 






In 1928, Greenwich received a special greeting from Antarctica. 




A century ago, there was some discussion in the New York press about the proper pronunciation of the town’s name. 



You’ll also hear about toboggan slides in Bruce Park and Glenville.




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 Round Hill Club. 

The theft of a woman's sealskin coat at the Round Hill Club made the news. You''ll learn 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.
