Theme: Life in Early Ridgefield
Explore life in early Ridgefield with fun, hands-on, educational activities!
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. Campers will join Timothy Keeler as deputy postmasters along the post road, establishing their post offices and ensuring the news reaches its final destination!
