Everyone has a story, and in 2024 we’re launching a new series called Growing up in Ridgefield to record, preserve, and celebrate the stories of life in our idyllic New England town. Barbara Serfilippi recently joined Dr. Darla Shaw for a conversation about her time in Ridgefield. The Ridgefield Historical Society’s Oral History Project collects and preserves the stories of all Ridgefielders. If you or someone you know has a story to share, please contact us: [email protected]
