Greenwich Point

The area of land that is now Greenwich Point was first used by the Siwanoy Indians as a fishing camp during the summer months.

The area came to be known as Elizabeth’s Neck due to her love for the island, and she lived nearby in the Feake-Ferris House (c. 1645).

[2] Tod called his waterfront estate “Innis Arden” and constructed a causeway to provide access to the main land.

Tod originally opened his property and golf course to Old Greenwich residents and guests staying at local inns.

[2] In 1946, Tod’s stone mansion was converted into 13 family apartments for veterans returning from World War II.

Two snack bars are located on the beach, serving hamburgers, hotdogs, ice cream, and hot and cold beverages.

The center serves to educate visitors about the ecology of Long Island Sound through a live-animal marine touch tank, four marine aquaria of local species, seashore dioramas of local species, and environmental activities and video presentations.
