In the year leading up to the American 250th celebration, a team of archaeologists has found exciting new evidence that adds to the understanding of the Battle of Ridgefield and its place in the history of the United States. Dr. Kevin McBride, principal investigator for Heritage Consultants LLC, led the work in this second study sponsored by the Ridgefield Historical Society under a National Park Service American Battlefield Protection Program grant.&nbsp; Dr. McBride will talk about the team’s findings on April 23rd. It’s become clear that the Battle of Ridgefield encompassed at least four engagements, with harassment of the British continuing from Ridgebury right through the center of town to their overnight encampment south of the village.
This event is co-sponsored by the Ridgefield Historical Society and the Ridgefield Library and is part of both organizations’ commemoration of the 250th&nbsp;anniversary of America in 2026. Admission is free, thanks to the Battlefield Grant, but registration is required on the Ridgefield Historical Society&nbsp;<a href="https://ridgefieldhistoricalsociety.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">website</a>.

Artists Reception: Saturday, April 25th, 2:00-4:00 pm.&nbsp; All are invited to drop by!<a href="https://ridgefieldlibrary.librarymarket.com/event/art-exhibit-kathy-coe-137981" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">More info.</a>
Kathy Coe paints with an eye for both likeness and spirit. Her portraits, still lifes and figural works don’t simply capture appearances – they reveal personality, presence and the quiet truths of her subjects. Working from life and guided by natural shifting light, Coe builds her compositions intuitively, rather than imposing a fixed plan; she follows feeling, allowing each painting to unfold into its own mood and voice.
Trained at the Du Cret School of the Arts and the National Academy of Fine Arts and Design, Coe studied with masters including Furman Finck, Ron Sherr, Harvey Dinnerstein and Mary Beth McKenzie. The foundation in rigorous observation is matched by her gift for color and atmosphere – subtle harmonies that give her paintings both intimacy and radiance.
Throughout her career, Coe has received numerous honors, among them the Elizabeth Greenshields Grant, the Edward Mooney Traveling Scholarship, the National Academy Lorraine Grace Award and Helen M. Loggi Award, the James Sudan Bronze Medal, and the Salmagundi Silver Medal for drawing.
Kathy Coe is represented by George Billis Gallery in NYC and Gtown Arts in Georgetown, CT. To see Kathy’s work please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://kathycoe.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">kathycoe.com</a>&nbsp;and Instagram @Kathy_Coe.
