Waldeck Kennels was located in the 1930s and 40s in the former Outpost Farm kennel on Route 7, a building later used as the Red Lion Restaurant. In February 1945, Heide Grafensteiner, a St. Bernard from Waldeck Kennels, won winner’s bitch and best of opposite sex at the Westminster Kennel Club show in Madison Square Garden.
For someone who died so long ago, it’s amazing how much has been written about the man and the key roles he played in the settling of Ridgefield.
The Ridgefield Historical Society is seeking collections volunteers to become an integral part of our mission to preserve and share the fascinating history of our town.
