Of the two commercial airports in Connecticut, the smaller of the two gets relatively little mention. Tweed-New Haven Airport, which straddles the New Haven-East Haven border, has been in business for nearly a century, when it was just a dirt landing strip. The history of the airport, and its namesake Jack Tweed, are told by the Director of Photo Archives for the New Haven Museum, Jason Bischoff-Wurstle.

It's the oldest town green in North America – one laid out in grid format and continuously maintained since colonial days. The New Haven Green has acquired many secrets in its nearly 400-year existence, including hidden cemeteries, historic churches, famous political visits, and its very purpose for existence. Learn the enchanting history behind one of CT's classic locations from Jason Bischoff-Wurstle, Director of Photo Archives at the New Haven Museum.

Alexander Graham Bell's invention of the telephone was made phenomenally more valuable when the telephone switchboard was invented. George Willard Coy doesn't get nearly the same name recognition as Bell, but his invention catapulted phone usage globally. It all started with humble, home-made components in a building in New Haven and grew to become the Southern New England Telephone Company and also brought about the first telephone directory and telephone poles. Hear the story from the Photo Archives Director of the New Haven Museum, Jason Bischoff-Wurstle.

Thursday, August 26, 2021, 12 noon WPKN 89.5 FM www.wpkn.org Host: Duo Dickinson For most homes are the place of familiar settings, of comfort, of safety. Homes should not threaten, they should welcome us into our Safe Place of protection, of pleasant harbor. But for some, homes extend their humanity into the future. Homes provide a place of expression, hope, even risk in their innovation and vision. Throughout the last 150 years homes went beyond the extension of their occupants' values and aesthetics into the world of architectural, social and technological aspiration. For some, homes became laboratories of experimentation in “New” hope and possibility. Homes offered salvation to their owners, the civilization and architectural vision that could transform the way humanity makes buildings. Homes have always been the lab rats of architecture. Their size, the control their builders had upon their outcome meant homes could project all the possibilities we invested in them. But like most experiments, these transformative attempts fail. We are seeing new trial balloons, right now, based on the same human desperation to make the “New” – even if in this effort happens in the oldest structure that humans built, our homes. Home Page welcomes Taunton Press's Peter Chapman and the New Haven Museum's Jason Bischoff-Wurstle and others to steak about these and of Salvational Homes: Container Homes, Reproduction Homes Living Roof/Buried Homes Tiny Homes, 3D Printed Homes Rammed Earth Homes Net Zero Homes Pressure Treated Wood Homes Urethane Foam Homes Dymaxion Homes Usonian Homes

Thursday, July 22, 2021, 12 noon WPKN 89.5 FM www.wpkn.org Host: Duo Dickinson We have all been in our homes and our neighborhoods more in the last year and a half than we have since World War 2. Now flights are back to 2019 levels, the highways are choked, but what about those places where we live? Not our homes, but our neighborhoods. What was this part of the world like before cars? Planes? Internet? Were neighborhoods families? Were communities just us, not a governmental institution? Was our separation from the world a return to life before these transporters? If so, what does that mean for us, now? Do you think we have changed to understand our localvore reality, or we slide back to simply bypassing our home town in favor of distant appeal, or has our neighborhood become more that what surrounds our home, but a place that we live? This month HOMEPAGE extends the idea of “home” beyond the four walls of our dwellings. fter these eighteen months of both isolation and local connection going to change the definition of home to include those around us? Or has sequestration terrorized us to with hold faith beyond self-protection? HOME brings in four perspectives on what a home is beyond where we live: Steve Grathwohl is the principal of westport property management and is currently on the Board of Directors of the Bridgeport Neighborhood Trust, a nonprofit developer of affordable housing, and is a member of the Affordable Housing Committee in Fairfield. Jason Bischoff-Wurstle is the Director of Photo Archives at the New Haven Museum, but he is also a lover of the history of home, and was a Board Member of the Board of The New Haven Preservation Trust NHPT. Jason's exhibit “Daymarks 1872” highlights New Haven's social history. Jason is also a WPKN fixture. Steve Mouzon is an architect, urbanist, author, blogger, and photographer from Miami. He founded the New Urban Guild, which helped foster the Katrina Cottages movement. Steve Mouzon opened his own architecture firm in 1991 and produces a number of town-building tools and services. He has derived A Living Tradition is a framework for a new type of pattern book that is principle-based instead of taste-based and therefore contributes to the creation of new living traditions. Steve is also a principal of the New Urban Guild in Miami.
