Preservation of Historic Winchester, Inc.

Charles Broadway Rouss Day

"For more than 50 years he has been almost continuously closely identified in all that concerns the public here," said former Winchester Mayor R.T. Barton at Rouss' funeral in 1902. Or, as Rouss biographer A.V. McCracken wrote in 1896, "There are bands, baseball clubs and every sort of organization in old Winchester which bear the name of the New York merchant…The name Charles Broadway Rouss will go down to unborn generations of Winchesterians as a synonym of all that is charitable, good and benevolent."

Celebrate Charles Broadway Rouss Day with a variety of activities taking place in Winchester. Please visit The Winchester City Government Website for a schedule of events and more history on one of Winchester's leading philanthropists.
