Greenwich During the Revolutionary War: A Frontier Town on the Front Line Exhibition Opening

October 16 @ 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm

In anticipation of the upcoming 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 2026, Greenwich Historical Society presents a dynamic exhibition that takes a fresh look at the impact of the Revolutionary War on Greenwich and surrounding communities. Greenwich During the Revolutionary War: A Frontier Town on the Front Line explores the dangers and shifting loyalties for a border town and its citizens during the war for independence.

The exhibition opens Wednesday, October 16 and will be on view in the Frank Family Foundation Special Exhibitions Gallery through March 9, 2025.

“The Revolutionary War happened long ago, but the choices people made then, the courage they demonstrated, the fear and loss they struggled to overcome, mirror many life experiences today,” reflects exhibition curator Kathy Craughwell-Varda. “My hope is that visitors will draw comparisons to their own lives and experiences, moments when they took a stand for what they believed in and realize we are not that different from the men and women who lived through the American Revolution.”

The exhibition will be accompanied by a series of thematically related special events, lectures, family programs and guided gallery tours for gaining deeper insights and information. Greenwich Historical Society is located at 47 Strickland Road, Cos Cob. For more information visit https://greenwichhistory.org/a-frontier-town-on-the-front-line/

The Flavorful World of Saltaire

In the heart of Port Chester, nestled within the century-old historic grain warehouse along the picturesque banks of the Byram River, lies the culinary treasure that is Saltaire Oyster Bar & Kitchen. Saltaire is a culinary experience that pays homage to the finest seafood and artisanal drinks. I had the privilege of exploring its charms during a visit to their Oyster Lounge (located just across the foyer from the main dining room) for their Wine & Brine Happy Hour.
