This is village of Greenwich, then known as Union Village, in 1865. Period homes and businesses can be identified on the map. On the 1865 map, my family's home & my birthplace is shown as Dr. Corliss's mansion, at 12 Bridge St. Dr. Hiram Corliss was a prominant physician and abolitionist leader who used his home as a way station on the Underground Railroad for slaves fleeing to Cananda via the Battenkill River. The mansion has since been replaced by a modern home.
