On Greenwich in the Gilded Age, you'll hear the second installment of the introduction to Victorian Summer: The Historic Houses of Belle Haven Park, Greenwich, Connecticut by Matt Bernard.  


A century ago, Greenwich residents during Prohibition learned about the problems associated with intoxicated domesticated animals revealing the whereabouts of illegal distilling operations. 


In 1901, the people of Greenwich learned about an innovative new service: trolley cars.  


As summer began to close in 1908, the firemen of Greenwich held a clambake in Byram.  


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