Greenwich During the Revolutionary War
A Frontier Town on the Front Line



In preparation for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 2026, the Greenwich Historical Society presents a timely and dynamic exhibition that takes a fresh look at the impact of the Revolutionary War on our community.

The Revolution may have started in Massachusetts, but it soon spread to Connecticut, particularly Fairfield County and Greenwich, the gateway to Patriotic New England. With their safety and livelihood at risk, residents had to choose whether to support American Independence, to remain loyal to King George III or claim neutrality. This is the story of the people of Greenwich and their neighbors in Fairfield County, living, working, fighting, fleeing or dying on the front line of the Revolutionary War.
