Historical Treasure & National Landmark
Our historic house museum, the oldest structure on the property, has been a farmhouse, tavern, stagecoach stop, post office, hotel for travelers, and summer estate. In 1966, a group of Ridgefield residents decided to preserve the building’s rich history and established it as a museum.
