Battlefield historian and archaeologist Dr. David Naumec, who worked on the Ridgefield Historical Society’s two National Park Service battlefield research projects, will narrate a bus tour following the route taken by British troops from Danbury through Ridgefield on April 27, 1777. Along the way, he will highlight key engagements, archaeological discoveries, and new evidence that has expanded knowledge of how the Battle of Ridgefield unfolded.
The Battle of Ridgefield Bus Tour will take place Sunday, Oct. 18, starting at 10 a.m. from the Scott House, 4 Sunset Lane. Space aboard the bus is very limited, making this a special opportunity to experience the battlefield landscape with one of the historians directly involved in its recent investigation. The tour is expected to last about 90 minutes.
The Scott House itself has a connection to the events of April 27, 1777. In its original location on Main Street, the 1714 saltbox stood near some of the heaviest fighting of the battle. Today, as headquarters of the Ridgefield Historical Society, it sits within another area associated with the battle.

A historian, archaeologist and museum consultant, Dr. Naumec was named Historic New England’s Revolution 250 Research Scholar, studying New England’s Indigenous and African American Revolutionary War veterans. A graduate of UConn, he holds a master’s degree in History and Museum Studies from Tufts University and a PhD in Race and Ethnicity in Early America through the Civil War from Clark University. His research interests include Native American history, colonial North America, Connecticut history and battlefield archaeology. He is museum manager of the Captain Nathaniel B. Palmer House and Lighthouse Museum with Historic Stonington.

More than 20 grand estates that covered much of Ridgefield a century ago will be the focus of a bus tour presented by the Ridgefield Historical Society, from 10 am to 1 pm on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2026.
Town Historian Jack Sanders, author of the book, Ridgefield’s Great Estates, will bring the group to and sometimes through these grand properties during a 25-mile excursion of the town, describing the grounds and mansions – some of which are still standing and have been repurposed. Beginning and ending at Jesse Lee Church at 207 Main Street in Ridgefield, the tour is entirely by mini school bus and will not include walking around or inside buildings. Seating is limited to 16 people and is expected to sell out quickly. Tickets for this unique opportunity are nonrefundable and priced at $75 or discounted at $65 for Ridgefield Historical Society members .

Ridgefield Historical Society

The glamour and excitement of Ridgefield’s famed Stonehenge Inn during the 1950s will be the focus of the Ridgefield History Club on Tuesday, Nov. 17, at 10 a.m. at the Ridgefield Historical Society’s Scott House, 4 Sunset Lane. Historical Society board member Keith Russell will lead an illustrated group discussion, “Clarence Korker’s The Golden Age of Stonehenge – The 1950s,” featuring recently digitized photographs of the inn’s celebrated guests, staff and social life, including entertainers Judy Garland and Jackie Cooper.

Clarence “Korky” Korker documented Ridgefield from the mid- to late 20th century through thousands of photographs and negatives. After retiring, he donated his extensive collection to the Ridgefield Historical Society. Russell has been gradually digitizing the images and adding them to the Society’s online archive. The collection ranges from portraits, weddings and community gatherings to streetscapes, commercial buildings and celebrities visiting Stonehenge Inn.
