A250 Community Conversation: "Understanding 'Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness' in 2026"

A Collaboration with Ridgefield Library

America250 Community Conversations are facilitated discussions led by Ridgefield Library and Keeler Tavern Museum & History Center staff that focus on increasing familiarity and interaction with the Declaration of Independence. These discussions encourage participants to share, listen and learn together, with no prior knowledge about the Declaration or its historical context needed. 

On March 26, join us in our Garden House for the third Community Conversation, "The Declaration at 250: Understanding 'Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness' in 2026." Using excerpts from the complete Declaration, we'll read and discuss one of our nation's most important political documents, with a goal of becoming more aware of what the document actually says. Audience participation is encouraged - we want to hear from you! This program is best suited for adults and teenagers.

Copies of the Declaration of Independence will be available to check out from the Library one month prior to each program, or you can access a full-text copy online at https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/declaration-transcript 

Community Conversations are funded in part by CT Humanities. Thank you!
