Revolutionary Bus Tour set for Oct. 7 in Ridgefield; early registration aids Historical Society

The Ridgefield Historical Society will collaborate with Histoury on a bus tour of colonial homes in Ridgefield on Saturday, Oct. 7, 1-5pm. Early ticket sales, through Tuesday, Aug. 8, are at a 10 percent discount and a portion of those sales will go to the Ridgefield Historical Society.

Enjoy an afternoon on a bus tour exploring colonial Ridgefield. Learn about the architecture, people, and stories connected to these historic places. Experience one of the town's grandest colonial residences, abandoned when its Loyalist owner fled to England. Ridgefield is home to a rare surviving colonial artisan's workshop, which was later renovated by acclaimed architect and revered Ridgefield resident Cass Gilbert. Many more historic colonial buildings have been well-preserved throughout the town. The tour will explore a great collection of some 20 of these places. Several stops will allow interior visits.

Histoury is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the appreciation and preservation of historic buildings in communities large and small through guided architectural history tours.  Its tours celebrate the architectural heritage found in communities throughout New England and New York.
