Greenwich Historical Society is excited to present an engaging and enlightening series of educational lectures and presentations exploring the breadth of American history over the course of 250 years. Each month, join the Historical Society for a special presentation covering topics from experts in the fields of fashion, local and national history, archaeology, historic preservation, archives, and more.

What if you could travel back in time to 1776? Greenwich Historical Society is excited to host acclaimed author Scott Smith for an exciting evening delving into his newest novel, A Most Revolutionary Watch: A Time Travel Adventure, which explores the answer to that very question.
Mr. Smith’s acclaimed publication follows protagonist Gary Johnson as he invents a watch that takes him back to 1776 to witness the signing of the Declaration of Independence. What transpires is a journey that explores what life was like 250 years ago at a time before the United States became its own nation. Intersecting between history, action, suspense, and science fiction, the book draws inspiration from the events of the Revolutionary War and the rocky road that paved the way to the new nation of the United States.
Historical Society Executive Director and CEO, Carol Cadou, will join Mr. Smith in dialogue exploring the details of this exciting book and the extensive research on the Revolutionary War and the Declaration of Independence that brought it together.
Copies of A Most Revolutionary Watch will be available for purchase in the museum gift store. An opportunity for book signing with Scott will be available once the presentation concludes.
