From Hula Hoops to High Fashion: G. Fox in the 1950's

Elizabeth Abbe, Director of Public Outreach at the Connecticut Historical Society, will lead folks down memory lane with a look at Connecticut's favorite department store. She will take guests back floor by floor, to the days when G Fox was the largest privately owned department store in the U.S.

Elizabeth will also provide some insight into the person who made G. Fox what it was- Beatrice Fox Auerbach.

So revisit G. Fox, where the customer was always right! If you have a favorite item you bought at G. Fox, bring it along to share with the group.
