Welcome to the 27th of February, 2024 show.




On Greenwich in the Gilded Age, we'll journey back in time and visit Conover Cottage, made possible by Victorian Summer: The Historic Houses of Belle Haven Park, Greenwich, Connecticut by Matt Bernard. 






You'll hear about the Green-Twachtman House on Round Hill Road -and an artistic acquisition of a work by Twachtman of this special home as Black History Month comes to a close. 




Artist Whitman Bailey shared his perspective on Greenwich Harbor in Winter, 1930. 




On Greenwich Life As It Is-And Was, Erwin Edwards recalls the old market boats in Greenwich -and the first sloop race on the Sound. 




In 1883 it was announced that -finally- the telephone was arriving in Greenwich!




Greenwich's Police Department was founded in 1906. History is replete with wrongdoings and misdeeds, which will be shared on Crime and Misdemeanors





Mark your calendars for LIFE: Six Women Photographers opening March 6, 2024 at the Greenwich Historical Society. 


We'll have all this -and more- as our history continues to unfold.
