SUMMARY:Ridgefield History Club: Exploring the new Ridgefield Encyclopedia
DESCRIPTION:Register Here\n\n\n\n\nThe next Ridgefield History Club meeting on Tuesday\, February 18\, 2025 at 10 a.m. at the Scott House\, 4 Sunset Lane\, will be an opportunity to ask any of those nagging questions you may have about the town we live in. Bring your inquiries about Ridgefield’s past and present people\, places\, and events. For example\, Who was the man known as the Ridgefield Hermit during the 19th century and what earned him this mysterious title? This meeting will be an opportunity to have a lively conversation as we explore and find the answers to your questions in the new Ridgefield Encyclopedia\, a compendium of facts that has more than 5\,000 entries. \n\n\n\nThe author is Jack Sanders\, who has written many histories centered on Ridgefield\, and who was editor of The Ridgefield Press for more than 40 years. He’ll be on hand for the meeting to assist in answering your questions and hopes to get some questions that he has not yet answered\, to add to the next edition of the Encyclopedia. \n\n\n\nThe Ridgefield History Club\, an informal community storytelling program (it’s not a presentation or lecture) of the Historical Society\, meets for an hour on the third Tuesday of every month to share memories and stories related to a specific topic in Ridgefield’s history. Jack Sanders\, who has written over 10 books on Ridgefield’s history will be on hand. 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. It’s also streamed live on Facebook and is uploaded to our YouTube channel. \n\n\n\nEveryone 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. All are welcome to this free program. \n\n\n\nCopies of the Ridgefield Encyclopedia are available at the Ridgefield Historical Society and from our friends at Books on the Common for those who’d like to purchase a copy. \n\n\n\nFor more information about this program\, contact the Historical Society at 203-438-5821 or info@ridgefieldhistoricalsociety.org Parking and seating at the Scott House is limited\, and registration is requested for this free program \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here
