Interested in historic preservation?

The Ridgefield Historical Society is seeking volunteers to support our Historic Preservation Activities.

The Scott House, our headquarters, is an outstanding example of historic preservation through adaptive re-use. This 1714 saltbox once stood on Main Street, was moved to Catoonah Street, and in 2000 was disassembled and later rebuilt on Sunset Lane.

One of The Ridgefield Historical Societies’ main missions is the preserving, interpreting and fostering knowledge of Ridgefield’s architectural heritage. The Historic Preservation Committee is seeking volunteers to assist us in our continuing efforts to help preserve the historic character of our streetscapes.

Our recent efforts with the Demolition Delay Ordinance and tracking development projects reveal that we are in need of administrative help to track multiple ongoing efforts. This volunteer could work from home if they prefer but we encourage getting to know the staff, our working board and many other enthusiastic volunteers at the Scott House, our headquarters.

For information and to discuss whether this volunteer position might be a good fit, please email the Society at info@ridgefieldhistoricalsociety.org.
