annual report
if you live or work
in greenwich,
you have a stake
in the greenwich
historical society.
Greenwich enjoys a truly colorful past. From its precarious
position on the Connecticut frontier during the American
Revolution to its later reputation as a Gilded Age enclave for the
rich and infamous, our town has long been associated with
well-known individuals and pivotal events in the arts, business,
journalism and politics.
The Historical Society contributes immeasurably to the cultural
vitality of this unique community. We serve as your bridge
from the past to the future by offering innovative programs,
exhibitions and preservation initiatives. The Bush-Holley
Historic Site, which boasts a bucolic period landscape, was
home to one of the first American Impressionist art colonies
and encompasses an extensive research library and archives
chronicling all things Greenwich, the Vanderbilt Education
Center and the 1805 Storehouse Gallery with rotating
exhibitions and a museum shop.
At the Historical Society, you can attend fascinating lectures,
enjoy hands-on family and educational programs, walk back
in time on docent-led tours of Bush-Holley House and be
captivated by live storytelling programs.
One visit and you’ll understand the value of supporting this
invaluable Greenwich resource.

Glimpses of the Past
From the William B Finch Jr. Archives
Letter
from the Chairman and Executive Director
The Greenwich Historical Society plays a crucial role in preserving the history of Greenwich and
provides a broad spectrum of educational programs that delight, inform and connect people in
meaningful ways to the social, architectural, economic and cultural heritage of our community.
The Historical Society has implemented numerous initiatives and innovations to fulfill this mission
and engage new audiences.
We are increasingly employing digital technologies to both enhance the experience of participants in
on-site programs and to deliver educational materials to those off-site. Examples include the following:
• Mounting multimedia exhibitions in our Storehouse Gallery
• Launching our new “Digital Archives,” which provides broad public access to our archival
collections
• Initiating the creation of online learning resources such as content designed for students’ tablets
• Delivering historic photographs and feature articles through social media and our new online
exhibition
• Expanding the scope, content and distribution of publications such as our online newsletter

Financial Highlights
treasurer’s comments: Operating results for the fiscal year ended June 30 were essentially
a breakeven. The balance sheet remains strong. The investment portfolio benefited from the strong
stock market with a total return, including income and gains, of over $500,000. Based on recent trends,
returns going forward may not achieve that performance. Our portfolio is managed by The Investment
Fund For Foundations (TIFF), which has over $11 billion under management. Our continuing challenge
is to provide the necessary funding for our wide range of preservation and education programs, bearing
in mind that we receive no funding from the Town of Greenwich. We appreciate your past support and
hope that you will continue to keep the Historical Society high on your list of priorities.— Bruce Dixon,

trustees, dedicated professional staff, devoted volunteers, community partners, generous patrons and

participation and very generous contributions this past year.
Please join us in 2015 as we celebrate the Town of Greenwich’s 375th anniversary, which, with your
encouragement and support, will allow the Historical Society to expand its efforts to preserve and share
our town's many stories and, in so doing, inspire a sense of place and a love of history in current and
future generations.

Highlights
history exhibitions in the Storehouse Gallery and offered lectures and
events that expanded exhibition themes in a variety of ways. We
brought back the Fall Festival and Scarecrow Competition and added
family-friendly activities to our Frolic at French Farm, so that all ages
might have an opportunity to appreciate this Greenwich treasure.
We also continued to have sellout crowds at Story Barn, which is fast
becoming a Greenwich tradition.
All Greenwich public school third-graders took part in the
Sarah Bush and Her Town program, which teaches about early life in
Greenwich, and over 1,200 students, Scouts and adults enjoyed tours
of beloved Bush-Holley House. In total, over 12,000 people visited
our site to explore the many facets of Greenwich history.

PRESERVATION AND OUTREACH
Preservation and
Community Outreach
This year we celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Greenwich
Landmark Recognition Program, which identifies and documents
historically significant structures in Greenwich, by adding five historic
structures to a roster of 283 historic resources. We now possess rich,
accurate, authentic details about these important structures that will
be preserved for all time. The Landmark Program will continue to
encourage the preservation of Greenwich’s architectural heritage as an
important element of our history and continuing quality of life.
We also furthered our preservation initiatives with our biannual
Preservation Awards and continued to reach out to the community
through off-site lectures and partnership programs.

Antiquarius is an annual series of holiday events and a
major fundraiser for the Greenwich Historical Society. All
proceeds go to support the Historical Society’s education
and preservation activities and its stewardship of BushHolley Historic Site.
Festivities began when, in recognition of their early
and generous support, 150 individual and corporate
patrons of Antiquarius 2013 were graciously feted at the
home of Richard and Linda Breeden.
A preview party at the Greenwich Winter Antiques
Show followed in early December where guests were
wowed with a “Meet Me at the Beverly Hills Hotel” theme
along with performances by “Marilyn Monroe” and
“Frank Sinatra” set in a re-creation of the Polo Lounge.
Things kept rolling the following week, and despite
a snowy first night, the Holiday Boutique offered elegant
holiday shopping with over 30 exclusive specialty vendors.
Author/designer Tom Scheerer signed books, and
concert pianist Randall Atcheson entertained
shoppers throughout the evening. Going out on a
high note, Antiquarius 2013 offered an extraordinary
House Tour. We are indebted to the five incredible
homeowners who were kind enough to open their
spectacular homes to the community in support of
the Historical Society.
Special thanks go to generous corporate sponsors
David Ogilvy & Associates, Douglas VanderHorn
Architects, Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company,
Gabelli Funds, NEBCO Insurance Services
and Northern Trust, and exclusive media sponsor
Connecticut Cottages & Gardens.
A salute to Horseneck Wines & Liquors, Broken
Shed Vodka, Marcia Selden Catering and Meli Melo for
providing festive food and libations throughout.

2014 Trust Event
The Greenwich Historic Trust, an annual leadership giving program,
was established in honor of past chairman Claire F. Vanderbilt to
support creative programming and fresh interpretations of history, to
fund the restoration and interpretation of Bush-Holley House and
to sustain preservation initiatives.
This year’s program to recognize lead donors to the Trust was
chaired by Lynne Wheat and Robert Getz and took place on June
3, 2014, at Seven Bridges, a foundation created in 1993 by Richard
McKenzie to support both established and emerging living artists
and to promote their creativity. This very special group of donors
enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres surrounded by Seven Bridges’
extraordinary collection of large-scale modernist and figurative
paintings, art glass and sculptures. They were also treated to a private
tour of the art glass collection led by Jim Schantz of Schantz Galleries.
Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company and NEBCO Insurance
Services, LLC generously underwrote the entire event.

To preserve our past for future generations, the Greenwich Historical
Society Archives depends on the assistance of people interested in
preserving the unique culture of Greenwich. We acquire, preserve and
make available to the public publications and original documents about
any aspect of the history of the Town of Greenwich from its founding
to the present. These can include original letters, diaries, scrapbooks,
minutes, reports and publications such as books, magazines, menus,
brochures, flyers and campaign literature. For the fiscal year ending June
30, 2014, the collection received numerous donations from many caring
individuals that will be used by future students and scholars.

In memory of
Chandler Bates
Chandler Bates joined the Board
of Trustees in 1975, serving until
1983 and again from 1984 to 1992,
at which time he was named an
Honorary Trustee. He was a key
player when the Archives was
being built in 1986–1987 and was
always willing to lend a helping
hand in building or repairing
anything that needed attention.
Drawing upon both his
long history in the New York
publishing world and his love of
sailing, he served as editor
of the history of the Indian
Harbor Yacht Club, A Century
of Sailing, 1889–1989. He also
had a great sense of humor and
a real love of history.

In memory of
Ed Bragg
Ed Bragg was a long-time
supporter, member of the Board
and chair of the Development
Committee, and an Advisory
Council member. He was
instrumental in saving and
restoring the historic lighthouse
on Great Captain’s Island
through “Save the Light.”
Together with his wife Margaret,
he made possible the furnishing
of the administrative offices in
the Justus Luke Bush Storehouse
in 1998. We will miss both
his warm smile and his good
counsel. — Debra Mecky
