It's the 20th of June, 2023 show! Welcome!
On Greenwich in the Gilded Age, our visit will take us to Hutchins Cottage in Belle Haven Park -made possible on today's show by Victorian Summer: The Historic Houses of Belle Haven Park, Greenwich, Connecticut by Matt Bernard.
It is available for purchase at the Greenwich Historical Society's Museum Store, or copies may be borrowed through the Greenwich Library. It is richly illustrated, revealing a wealth of detailed history. I strongly recommend it.
On Greenwich Life As It Is-And Was, Columnist Lucien B. Edwards Shared with his readers a history of what was once the Borough of Greenwich.
We continue to observe the 125th anniversary of the founding of the Greenwich Police Department on Crimes and Misdemeanors.
Greenwich Before 2000 was published as an updated, revised edition of another Greenwich history book, Before and After 1776: The Comprehensive Chronology of the Town of Greenwich. On today's show, we'll look back at Years 1766-1774.
And in other historical news, you'll hear about how the people of Greenwich observed the Fourth of July as we countdown to Independence Day. W.J. Johnson -the publisher of the New York Times- was on a -round-the-world journey that took him to Japan, and his encounter with Japanese cuisine and geishas.
You'll also learn about the 25th anniversary of the Little Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in 1907; how Solomon H. Green of Round Hill Road got lost and was found in the Springdale section of Stamford. In 1922, the people of Greenwich learned about the travels of Douglas Scott, USN, that took him to Vesuvius and Pompeii.
There’s lots to see, to do, and to learn about the history of the Town of Greenwich.
You’ve come to the right place to learn about the history of the Town of Greenwich, Connecticut, one of America's most interesting and extraordinary communities.
We’ll have all this -and more- as our history continues to unfold.
