Ridgefield History

The Dutch, The English, The Native Americans and The Deeds
This is the story of three different cultures who tried to occupy, and retain possession of the same lands. Each had a different approach and political agenda as they made their land deals. The Europeans did not understand the Native Americans and visa versa especially in the beginning. This was the political climate the Proprietors of Ridgefield had to negotiate as they were establishing their new town. Instructor Lynn-Marie Wieland is a lithic (stone tools) archaeologist specializing in southern New England prehistory with an emphasis on the Indians of the Ridgefield area. She minored in Meso American Archaeology and has traveled extensively in Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras.
