2017–2018 Annual Report We did it!

Greenwich History has a new home. We opened new doors to the community!

2 Greenwich Historical Society Annual Report 2017-18 Dear Friends,

This year marks an important milestone in the continuous progress of the Greenwich Historical Society since its founding in 1931. Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our donors and the exceptional efforts of the Board of Trustees, the Capital Campaign Committee, the Building Committee, the Development Committee, our dedicated professional staff, devoted volunteers, community partners and award-winning design professionals, we made history by “Reimagining the Campus” while remaining true to our original charter mission to collect, preserve and share the history of our beloved Town of Greenwich.

This milestone chapter began with the long-sought purchase of the adjacent Toby’s Tavern in 2012. During the next six years the Historical Society embarked upon a journey to capitalize on the opportunity created by Toby’s acquisition to materially expand the functionality of our Strickland Road campus through the addition of new exhibition galleries, parking, archives and research library, collections storage and staff offices, which will enable the Historical Society to significantly broaden the spectrum of services we provide to the community.

These ambitious objectives were achieved through the completion of both the Capital Campaign and the construction of the “Reimagined Campus” in 2018. Simultaneously, we created the 2018–2023 strategic plan and new mission statement, which reflect our goals for the next five years. In addition, we commenced new planned giving and endowment programs to sustain the plan’s enriched education and preservation initiatives at our newly expanded site in the years ahead.

Working together toward shared goals, we have successfully reached the end of this milestone year by fulfilling the Historical Society’s long-held dreams for its National Historic Landmark Bush-Holley House site and laying the foundation for another successful chapter in the future history of the Greenwich Historical Society. We are deeply indebted to each of you.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Davidde Strackbein Chairman of the Board

4 | Greenwich Historical Society Annual Report 2017–18 Dear Members and Friends,

As you can see from the pages that follow, the Historical Society continued to offer a wide array of exhibits, programs and services for and in collaboration with our community to connect people of all ages to our past, to each other and to our future. We researched, exhibited and published the first history of the Jewish experience in Greenwich, yet another chapter in the story of our town. We learned about the first Jewish merchants to purchase Bush-Holley House and discovered the original key to Toby’s Tavern. We delighted schoolchildren and amazed teachers in our exhibits and archives. We recognized four new landmarks, celebrated the preservation efforts of local businesses and installed our fifth historic district marker.

We did this while on the move—we moved staff, collections, earth, rocks, sidewalks and gardens, replaced a roof, built a new building and demolished another. Fine arts movers carried paintings, portraits and archival collections to their new storage units, while the library shelves were filled with genealogical records, directories and reference books. Furnishings, displays and interpretive signs arrived, and a conference table was fork-lifted through a second-floor window of Toby’s!

Thank you to everyone who shared their stories, research, expertise, financial resources and enthusiasm. And welcome to your new home for Greenwich history.

Debra Mecky Executive Director & CEO

In the past year we worked hard to stress the importance of preserving our Tarchitectural treasures. The Landmark Recognition program continued to cite and document our town’s most distinctive properties. This year’s selections truly illustrated the remarkable variety of styles to be found in our town. They included: the 1856 Second Congregational Church; Northway, a striking mansion modeled on Versailles’ Petit Trianon; a quintessential midcentury modern home; and a classic stucco and half-timbered Tudor.

18 | Greenwich Historical Society Annual Report 2017–18 Tribute to Outgoing Chairman Davidde Strackbein

avidde Strackbein has a long and devoted history with this organization. She was a prior board member from 1986 to 1993, when the very first DArchives opened in 1987, and has been instrumental over the years in building and preserving our archival collections and deepening the community’s appreciation for its history.

When Davidde Strackbein rejoined the Board of Trustees in 2010, she may not have imagined that she would be tapped as its chairman two years later, but she was certainly well prepared. It was a critical time for the Greenwich Historical Society—we had just acquired the Toby’s Tavern property in 2012, and the town’s 375th anniversary was on the horizon.

Among Davidde’s accomplishments were expansion of the Greenwich Landmarks Recognition program, identification of strong volunteer leadership to revive the Greenwich Preservation Network and chairmanship of the town’s yearlong anniversary. Most remarkable, during her terms as board chairman, the Historical Society undertook a Historic Structures Report of Toby’s Tavern, developed a Master Plan for facility and program expansion and successfully completed a $13.5 million capital campaign, chaired by Peter Malkin, to realize the dream for our newly reimagined campus in October 2018.

Davidde will continue to serve as chair of our newly formed Planned Giving Committee that will ensure a viable financial future for the Greenwich Historical Society. Leading the way, The Strackbein Archives Endowment Fund was established with a major gift from Ron and Davidde Strackbein to support archival internships to further expand our knowledge of Greenwich history through collections research and cataloging.

Our profound thanks go to Davidde for her longstanding dedication to preserving our community’s history.
