Living Off the Land
A #HandsOnHistory Month Special Exhibition
September 29 – October 27, 2019
Cass Gilbert Carriage Barn
October is #HandsOnHistory Month at Keeler Tavern Museum's historic Carriage Barn!
From its 1708 founding until the early 20th century, Ridgefield was primarily a farming community.
Come learn about the historic farm tools and implements used in all stages of food production, from preparing the soil to harvesting and processing crops for consumption and sale.
See how people harnessed the power of simple machines to reduce time and labor and increase yields.
