Enjoy an afternoon on a bus tour exploring colonial Ridgefield. Learn about the architecture, people, and stories connected to these historic places. Experience one of the town’s grandest colonial residences, abandoned when its Loyalist owner fled to England. Ridgefield is home to a rare surviving colonial artisan’s workshop, which was later renovated by acclaimed architect and revered Ridgefield resident Cass Gilbert. Many more historic colonial buildings have been well-preserved throughout the town. The tour will explore a great collection of some 20 of these places. Several stops will allow interior visits.
