During each open house, guests are invited to tour the one-room school (last used by students in 1915) and learn about how Ridgefield’s district schools were organized and what has become of the structures where 18th, 19th and some 20th Century Ridgefielders received all of their education. Ridgefield Town Historian Jack Sanders and his wife Sally, volunteers with the Historical Society, will be on hand to answer questions.
