Welcome to the 5th of March, 2024 show.
On Greenwich in the Gilded Age, we'll journey back in time and visit Harris Cottage, made possible by Victorian Summer: The Historic Houses of Belle Haven Park, Greenwich, Connecticut by Matt Bernard.
This was proclaimed to the public in 1904. There were those frequenting the Jersey Shore who aspired for something quieter -and found that in Greenwich, Connecticut.
Round Hill in 1878 was described here. This was said to be the highest geographic point in the Town of Greenwich -with spectacular view of Long Island Sound and beyond.
March is Women's History Month. You'll hear about the marriage of Shirley Putnam, editor and manager of the Greenwich Press a century ago in 1924.
You'll also hear about the passing of Janet Ruutz-Rees, mother of Miss Caroline Ruutz-Rees, the founder of Rosemary Hall off Lake Avenue in Rock Ridge.
On Greenwich Life As It Is-And Was, Lucien Edwards commented in his column about Greenwich's old New England gardens.
Greenwich's Police Department was founded in 1906. History is replete with wrongdoings and misdeeds, which will be shared on Crime and Misdemeanors.
We'll have all this -and more- as our history continues to unfold.
