A Walk Through Cos Cob

Come along with Gertrude Riska and take a nostalgic tour of Cos Cob, Connecticut, as it was in her childhood. This was a time when automobiles were "few and far between" on the Boston Post Road, when gentlemen tipped their hats in greeting, and when young girls waited "practically breathless all year" for the Fireman's Ball. Mrs. Riska's oral history will take you on a walk through Cos Cob in the 1920s and 30s, back to a simpler time.
