We will also discuss the multiple efforts over the years to designate Ridgebury as a historic district, reflecting on what elements of its past have been lost, what has been preserved, and what those choices mean for understanding Ridgebury today. The Ridgefield Historical Society would especially appreciate any information that residents might add to research about Ridgebury. We invite you to attend and share your knowledge. Bring your Ridgebury related photos, documents, and objects for show and tell. All are welcome.
