The Ridgefield Historical Society has a precious collection of 41 recordings, capturing the voices and stories of Ridgefielders who served in World War II. These stories — of ordinary people doing the extraordinary — are part of an oral history project the Historical Society is now preserving to share with future generations and future historians.

This Thursday, February 23, on Fairfield County’s Giving Day, we invite you to support this project and preserve this very important past.
