Steeped in history, the town of Ridgefield played an important part in America's past. The town began as a 20,000-acre parcel bought from the Rampapoo Indians in 1708. On April 27, 1777, American troops commanded by Benedict Arnold fought the British at Ridgefield. The restored Keeler Tavern, located on Main Street, is now a museum illustrating Ridgefield's Revolutionary War period. Over the years, Ridgefield has developed into a primarily residential community with an assortment of shops and restaurants, as well as professional offices found along its main streets. Known for its excellent educational system, Ridgefield has its eyes on the future.
