Yesterday, January 17, 2026 the First Congregational Church of Greenwich hosted a public talk on the history of Old Greenwich at its church at 108 Sound Beach Avenue.
The presentation was led by church historian and webmaster Pat Fulkerson Larrabee. It focused on the development of Old Greenwich, the town’s oldest neighborhood.
Larrabee’s talk covered the area’s history of farms and factories to waterfront inns and large estates, as well as the people and events that helped shape the community.
The program highlighted Revolutionary War soldiers buried in two Old Greenwich cemeteries as part of the broader America 250 commemoration.
Other topics included Laddins Rock Farm, its pond and a film project partially shot there that was backed by publisher William Randolph Hearst, along with the neighborhood’s past as a publishing center and home to a range of notable residents.
I'm very pleased to announce that Larrabee's presentation is featured on the First Congregational Church of Old Greenwich's YouTube channel. Click the link I've provided and enjoy!
