Greenwich Historical Society Fall Fête Held At Old Mill Farm

GREENWICH, CT — The Greenwich Historical Society announced it is hosting a Fall Fête fundraiser at Old Mill Farm, which was previously owned by actor and director Mel Gibson.

The fundraiser, held on November 4 at 6 p.m., benefits the Historical Society's education, history, and arts programs, a news release said. It is presented by Oscar de la Renta.

Tickets include cocktails, and hors d’oeuvres provided by caterer Peter Callahan. The Bumbys, a performing arts duo, will give guests a playful interpretation of how the world sees them.

“This is a critical fundraiser to support our expanded free and low-cost educational programs for local schools, which is especially important this year as the pandemic continues to distance us and our children from each other,” said Historical Society Executive Director and CEO Debra Mecky in a news release.

“As in past years, these festive events are designed to help foster a sense of community and connection to Greenwich’s rich history, while supporting our arts and education programming."

Ticket prices are divided into five tiers and can be purchased online. The top four tiers include Historical Society membership and a VIP pass to the first annual Winter Market & Holiday Festival Dec. 2-4.
