WARWICK Have you ever moved away from your community and needed an excuse to come visit? Most old towns have this age-old tradition, a day just for this. Warwick is one of them. Warwick will celebrate its Old Home Days this weekend, with events all.

Modified: 4/26/2021 2:40:41 PM If you happened along the road from Warwick to North Orange in the 1800s, you might have noticed a woman walking along wearing a dark green cloak and carrying a carpet bag left over from the Civil War. This woman was Zylpha Smith. Clare Green, trustee of the Warwick Historical Society, has portrayed Zylpha at Warwick Old Home Days and other events, to encourage interest in Warwick’s history and the Warwick Historical Society.
