CPTV Features Greenwich Historical Society in Connecticut Cultural Treasure Series
Greenwich Historical Society was tapped last spring to participate in the Connecticut's Cultural Treasures series, which featured the state's most notable historic landmarks, museums, parks, historic districts and performing arts venues. In March, a film crew captured footage of the site and interviewed Executive Director Debra Mecky and former board chairman and art historian Susan Larkin. The result was a wonderful five-minute introduction to our site and its colorful past.
Benedict Arnold - Birthplace And Family Home In Norwich
This clip starts with a picture of Arnold's birthplace and childhood home on Washington St. in Norwich, Connecticut. The picture is from 1854. Then we see the plot of land from the same spot as it looks today. Mike, the owner of the house, told me his parents bought the land after a Victorian house located there burned down, he's not sure when, but probably in the forties or fifties. Obviously that was not the Arnold house, which existed there before Arnold's father bought it in 1739. He agreed with where I placed the camera for the before and after shot but we're not positive it's correct. The camera pauses at about 24 seconds, you can barely see Backus Memorial hospital through the trees...

The Mark Twain House & Museum, a National Historic Landmark in Hartford, Connecticut, was the home of America's greatest author, Samuel Clemens (a.k.a. Mark Twain) and his family from 1874 to 1891. It is also where Twain lived when he wrote his most important works, including Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Prince and The Pauper, and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.

The second half of my 100 Subscriptions Special. Thanks for all the support. Checking out and old bank, that is getting repurposed. An old warehouse that may or may not be getting renovated in to apartments. And a literal game of duck duck goose
True Paranormal Stories: Haunted Connecticut
Hey Haunted Family! Welcome back for another episode. While visiting the state of Connecticut a couple summers ago on what we have lovingly dubbed our east coast tour of truck stops I fell in love with the state. This episode is dedicated to all the wonderful haunted places, creepy tales, and secrets that will undoubtedly draw me back to Connecticut.

Benedict Arnold: The Untold Story of An American Hero
Benedict Arnold is considered the worst traitor in American History, but without him, it is unlikely the United States would exist today.
Arnold's achievements were overshadowed by his betrayal, but from his perspective, it was Congress that betrayed him. He was placed on their blacklist and overlooked time and time again for promotions.
Throughout the war, Arnold led the Americans to victory at the Siege of Ticonderoga, The Battle of Lake Champlain, the First Battle of Saratoga and the Second Battle of Sarota. His accomplishments allowed the Americans to win at the Siege of Boston and he led a daring invasion of Quebec.
Throughout the war, he was injured in four separate battles (Champlain, Quebec, Battle of Ridgefield, and Saratoga). His business went bankrupt while he was off fighting the war and his wife passed away. The broke Congress, refused to pay him, and instead brought him to Court Martial, ordering that he pay them vast sums of money. All the while, they overlooked him for promotions and credited others with the achievements and battles that he had won.
Eventually, every man can be pushed too far... and inevitably, Arnold would turn to the British, feeling betrayed by the nation he had suffered so much to help create.
