On Greenwich in the Gilded Age, we’ll visit Seven Gables in Belle Haven Park.
On Greenwich Life: As It Is-And Was Lucian Edwards wrote about the interesting history of town’s stone quarries.
We’ll introduce you to Whitman Bailey, a sketch artist who -starting in 1924- also wrote published commentaries about area local historic sites for thirty years. On today’s show you’ll hear Bailey’s comments about the circa 1792 Zophar Mead House at Field Point Park.
History is replete with wrongdoings and misdeeds -and you’ll hear about those on Crimes and Misdemeanors.
It pays to be polite; just ask Miss Bertha Sherwood in 1898. Did you know the famous Beecher family ran a school for young girls in Cos Cob? We’ll share more on our December holiday countdown, too.
You’ve come to the right place to learn about the history of the Town of Greenwich, Connecticut, one of America's most extraordinary communities.
We’ll have all this -and more- as our history continues to unfold.
