There’s plenty of history to explore starting with the Schoolhouse Museum, a one-room 1870s schoolhouse, now home to numerous historic artifacts and maintained by the Ridgewood Historical Society. A more modern site is the James Rose Center, named after the famous landscape architect whose designs have influenced much of Ridgewood’s environment. Many of the stores and restaurants are in architecturally stunning historic buildings.
