Landmark Celebration: First Congregational Church of Greenwich


 

On Saturday, November 2, 2024 there will be a public celebration of official Historical Landmark Status for the First Congregational Church of Greenwich.


This Old Greenwich institution, which is deeply tied into the Town’s history, has spent more than a year and a half working on the recognition with the Greenwich Historical Society. 

 

 


On Saturday, from 5 to 6 p.m., we will be able to celebrate the results of this hard work as the church’s Meetinghouse, which dates back to 1895, is made a Greenwich landmark.

 

First Congregational Church of Greenwich dates back to 1665 and is the founding church of Greenwich. Back then a town could not be recognized if it did not have a church  so it’s historical importance has always been well known.


The event is open to the community and people are encouraged to attend. 

 

A plaque will be unveiled and church historian Pat Larrabee will be there to take questions.
