Rev. Huckel's 1919 Remarks About Greenwich, A 1787 Prenuptial Agreement, the Octagon House and Dr. James William Smith, Missionary in Hawaii





On the Wednesday, April 10, 2019 broadcast of Greenwich, A Town For All Seasons, Host Jeffrey Bingham Mead, a descendant of Greenwich's founders, shared remarks published by Rev. Dr. Oliver Huckel a century ago about the New England flavor and heritage of the town. 

Mead shares details of a rare recorded prenuptial agreement dated 1787 in Greenwich Town Hall Records. 

You'll hear news of an architectural wonder that once graced Milbank Avenue -an octagonal-shaped home where Brunswick School's first classes were held. 



And finally, Mead takes us back in time to 1842 Hawaii, where Stamford native Dr. James William Smith served as the first ordained Protestant missionary minister and physician on the island of Kauai.
