Welcome to the 12th of March, 2024 show.
On Greenwich in the Gilded Age, we'll journey back in time and visit Parke Cottage, made possible by Victorian Summer: The Historic Houses of Belle Haven Park, Greenwich, Connecticut by Matt Bernard.
March is Women's History Month. You'll learn about Caroline Mills Smith Mead.
“The first of Greenwich farming land to be developed into residential sites was owned by a woman who promoted what proved to be one of the most successful real estate operations ever planned for Greenwich.”
That part of the story of Caroline Mills Smith Mead began in 1906 when Suburban Avenue, Tremont Street and Randolph Place in Cos Cob were laid out and lots subdivided.
Caroline Mill Smith Mead House, 391 East Putnam Avenue, Cos Cob.
But there's more to her story.
A letter was received about a proper flag pole commemorating those who served in World War I, in front of the Main Post Office on Greenwich Avenue.
Greenwich's Police Department was founded in 1906. History is replete with wrongdoings and misdeeds, which will be shared on Crime and Misdemeanors.
Good news! Greenwich Historical Society's Art & History Camp is back for Summer, 2024! Learn more and register here.
We'll have all this -and more- as our history continues to unfold.
