Ridgefield Historical Society

The headquarters also features a reception and reference room, where the public can access databases of history materials held town wide. There is also a meeting room, a library, a project room, the town historian's office, a cataloguing area, and a kitchenette. The society welcomes volunteers to assist with its work, which will include preparing for the celebration of Ridgefield's 300th anniversary in 2008.

We hope you enjoy our work.

Please support this 72-year tradition of trusted historical writing and the volunteers that sustain it with a donation to American Heritage.
