Each year in late fall, The Historical Society of the Town of Greenwich holds Antiquarius, a week-long series of art, antiques and design events highlighted by the renowned Greenwich Antiques Show and the festive Holiday House Tour of beautiful Greenwich Homes. Other events include a Preview Party, Designer Day and Holiday Boutique.

Antiquarius is a 52-year-old Greenwich tradition that includes a gala preview party, and a Holiday Boutique of unique gift shopping and this year, a designer day will present a special opportunity for decorators and designers to bring their clients to the Antiques Show for free.

Invitations to Antiquarius events are mailed in the fall. Funds raised through Antiquarius support school programs and Artist-in-Residence Afterschool Program that reach over 7,000 students in the Greenwich community each year.

Through participation as a Connoisseur, Sponsor, Angel, Benefactor or Patron, donors provide support for the continuation of a broad array of award-winning history and art education programs for children and adults. They receive entrance to all Antiquarius events and are invited to the Patron Party on November 6 at a private historic Greenwich Home.
