On Greenwich in the Gilded Age, we’ll visit Conover Cottage  in Belle Haven thanks to Victorian Summer: The Historic Houses of Belle Haven Park, Greenwich, Connecticut by Matt Bernard.

What happened in Year 1967?

On Crimes and Misdemeanors, you’ll hear about intoxicated drivers and a woman who slapped a man across the face in 1925.

Twenty-eight-year year Greenwich resident Kong Bai Ji was an important figure in China’s contemporary art movement

He died in 2018. You’ll hear my conversation with his daughter, Sasha Kong.

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

 

Happy Mother's Day!
