Battle of Ridgefield Specialty Tours

As part of a series of community events commemorating the 245th anniversary of the 1777 Battle of Ridgefield, KTM&HC will be offering FREE specialty themed tours on both Saturday, April 30 and Sunday, May 1.

Tours of our historic tavern museum explore the complex history of what it means to live through war at home. By sharing the experiences of our former site residents during the Battle of Ridgefield, our tours complicate some of the Revolutionary War archetypes we've been taught: the "ardent patriot," the "courageous housewife," the "loyal Black servant." Visitors can also head over to our historic carriage barn for exhibits and activities, including a History Detectives station for children.

Families welcome! Tours are free for all and advance registration is recommended. 
All visitors must check in at the Visitor Center first. Tours are approximately 45 minutes in length. Additional events, including the official reenactment and ongoing walking tours, will happen concurrently. 
Masks are required inside the historic tavern museum and are optional everywhere else on site.
