Horseneck DAR, Greenwich Library To Host Talk With Author Missy Wolfe

Via Horseneck Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution

GREENWICH, CT — On Monday, Dec. 5, the Horseneck Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and Greenwich Library will host an evening talk with author Missy Wolfe, an avid historical researcher who has spent well over a decade researching and writing about Greenwich history.

The popular historian will discuss her new two-volume set, “The Great Ledger Records of the Town of Greenwich (2021).” The event will begin with refreshments at 6:30 p.m. and the presentation will start at 7 p.m.

The event is perfect for those new to Greenwich as well as longtime residents.

Registration through the Greenwich Library website is available here. The event will be held in the Marx Family Black Box Theater.

Wolfe is an established author of two other books on Greenwich history — a study of the life of Greenwich founder Elizabeth Winthrop Feake Hallett (Insubordinate Spirit: A True Story of Life and Loss in Earliest America (2014) — which won the Washington Irving Medal for Literary Excellence — and Hidden History of Colonial Greenwich (2018).

In the “The Great Ledger Records of the Town of Greenwich (2021),” Wolfe worked with the Town Clerk's office to organize the town’s original handwritten town records, meetings, family relationships, vital records, land transactions, lost place names, original road names records, and defining pieces of the town’s beginning. This is a valuable reference for those interested in genealogical or historical facts about the town during the colonial period.
