Get creative as you explore life in early Ridgefield! Ridgefield’s first post office opened in the Keeler Tavern in 1792. Before telegraph and telephone, before text message and email, the postal service carried news throughout the 13 colonies and early United States. Participants will join Timothy Keeler as deputy postmasters along the post road, establishing their post offices and ensuring the news reaches its final destination!
