Ever wonder what life was like in Ridgefield 10,000 years ago? Join us as we explore the lifeways of the first people to inhabit these lands. They were hunters and gatherers who subsided off of big game animals like mastodons. We will also be looking at stone tools they left behind in Ridgefield and hear how they were excavated by professional archaeologists.

The Ridgefield History Club, an informal community storytelling program (it’s a conversation, not a lecture) of the Historical Society, meets for an hour the third Tuesday of every month to share memories and stories related to a specific topic in Ridgefield’s history. The discussion is recorded and cataloged in the Historical Society’s archive to preserve all the stories of Ridgefield’s people, places, and events for future generations.
Everyone is invited, just bring your love of history and your curiosity. Some people come to every session while others attend when the topic is of special interest to them. This is a great opportunity to connect with other history enthusiasts and learn something new about our wonderful town. Both longtime residents and newcomers contribute.
Seating is limited at the Scott House, so we ask that you register in advance here:
