Where’s Waldo
July 2026 is the month for youngsters who enjoy a challenge: Finding the striped-shirted fellow at a variety of Ridgefield locations, including the Ridgefield Historical Society, in a program sponsored by Books on the Common at 404 Main Street.
All participants should pick up their passports from Books on the Common in late June; this year, there are 25 locations where Waldo will be hiding. We at the Ridgefield Historical Society will be participating for the entire month of July on the days we are open, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, from 1-5pm at the Scott House on 4 Sunset Lane and on Sunday, July 26 from 1-4pm at The Peter Parley/West Lane District Schoolhouse on West Lane at South Salem Rd. We’ll have some history-related items to show visitors and stickers for your passports after Waldo is found!
We will also have a historical scavenger hunt for children to participate in when they visit the Scott House.
At the end of July, those who have found Waldo in at least 10 places will receive a sticker and a button from Books on the Common; those with 20 will also be entered into a prize drawing on July 31.
