Event Details

Date: November 7, 2025
Time: 6:30 pm
–9:00 pm

Join us at the Greenwich Historical Society for our Annual Story Barn, a long-standing Historical Society tradition that celebrates the art of sharing our unique personal histories. Led by Master of Ceremonies, Bonnie Levison, the evening features short, true stories by a variety of volunteer storytellers from the community. Community storytellers follow a new theme each year as a starting point for their anecdotes. Funny, touching, and uplifting, Story Barn sessions always leave the audience feeling the warmth of our clever and insightful community.

This year’s Story Barn theme is: This Old House. Whether you have been involved in a historic home as an owner, builder, or historian, or if you simply have memories of an older home that was meaningful to you, this year’s storytelling explores the significant experiences of old homes in our community.

The Historical Society will host light bites and drinks starting at 6:30pm in the Vanderbilt Education Center. Doors open for storytelling in our historic barn lecture hall at 7:30pm.

Bring friends and family to enjoy a memorable evening of sharing and connection while listening to community members tell their engaging stories about the homes that made an impact on them.

Do you have a story to tell? Anyone who is interested in participating as a featured storyteller please contact the Director of Public Programs, Lauren Ackerley, at lackerley@greenwichhistory.org. Storytellers will meet with Bonnie Levison in advance to prepare for the event. No prior storytelling experience is needed.

Deadline to reach out for participation is October 15th
