On Greenwich in the Gilded Age, we'll take you to Seven Gables in Belle Haven -made possible by Victorian Summer: The Historic Houses of Belle Haven Park, Greenwich, Connecticut by Matt Bernard. 



Three islands off the Greenwich coast were the subject of a piece by Erwin Edwards in Greenwich As It Is -And Was.



 

What happened in Year 1779? Be sure to visit the Greenwich Historical Society's current exhibit, Greenwich During the Revolutionary War: A Frontier Town on the Front Line .




Crimes and Misdemeanors is the show segment on -you guess right- crimes in Greenwich's history. A group of intoxicated "Joy Riders" made history on the Boston Post Road a century ago in 1924. 

 



Lawrence Wilkinson met a calm but untimely death in his room in the Lenox Hotel in 1895. 




If you missed the recent screening of the documentary on the HMT Rohna Disaster in World War II we have good news.


By popular demand, the Greenwich Historical Society will be hosting a second-screening on Tuesday, November 26, 2024. This is on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.
