The collection ranges from portraits\, weddings and community gatherings to streetscapes\, commercial buildings and celebrities visiting Stonehenge Inn. \n\n\n\nThe Ridgefield History Club is an informal community storytelling program of the Ridgefield Historical Society.

Some attend every month\, while others join when a topic holds special meaning for them. Longtime Ridgefield residents and newcomers alike are welcome.
