Dr. Darla Shaw portrays Elizabeth Biglow Ballard who was born in the late 1800s and came to Ridgefield every year between the ages of 11 and 86. She lived in the former home of Philip Burr Bradley and, in 1964, left the five acres of land where the house stood to the town. This property is now Ballard Park.
