Sunday, October 27 @ 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm EDT
Sunday, Oct. 27, will be the final Sunday at the Peter Parley Schoolhouse for 2024, a chance to see how young Ridgefielders received their early education and to do a bit of trick-or-treating. Come in costume!
The school, formally the West Lane District School, sits in the triangle at the intersection of West Lane and South Salem Road. It has been expanded and renovated over the years since its opening in 1756, but it is still a basic one-room school. Furnished as it was when the school finally closed in 1915, when the town’s first modern grammar school opened on East Ridge, the school is maintained as a small museum by the Ridgefield Historical Society.
The open house on Sunday will run from 1 to 4 p.m. Jack and Sally Sanders, who are Ridgefield Historical Society volunteers, will be on hand to greet visitors and answer questions. For more information, visit https://ridgefieldhistoricalsociety.org
