Event Details

Join the Ridgefield Historical Society as we commemorate the 246th Anniversary of the Battle of Ridgefield, which took place on April 27, 1777 and was a pivotal engagement in the Revolutionary War—pitting Patriots against Loyalists and awakening local patriotic sentiment in Connecticut. 

10:30am and 11:00am Walking Tours.

The tour is produced by the Ridgefield Historical Society under the direction of local luminary Dr. Darla Shaw and is a “living history” event where Revolutionary War characters are brought to life by actors in period costumes, including Benedict Arnold, General Tryon, and Anna Stebbins, among others who will be stationed at several stops along Main Street, beginning at the Battle of Ridgefield sign north of Casagmo, and ending at the Keeler Tavern.

Please sign up on the Ridgefield Historical Society website: ridgefieldhistoricalsociety.org

Each tour lasts approximately one hour, covers approximately one mile, and each stop will feature a short, entertaining, and informative performance.
