Museum Tours at KTM&HC

Keeler Tavern Museum & History Center is open Thursday through Sunday, 11 AM to 4 PM.

Site Admission includes a themed tour of the historic house museum, entry to all current exhibits, and access to our beautiful gardens and grounds. We recommend purchasing tickets in advance online. Tickets can be purchased, as available, at the Visitor Center.

Themed tours showcase the museum’s period rooms and focus on aspects of our site’s history.

Beams to Balustrades

How do you build a house that can withstand centuries of weather, generations of owners, and even a cannonball or two? Learn about the evolution of KTM&HC’s historic house, from its colonial origins to its 20th-century preservation. Through an emphasis on energy efficiency, discover how residents worked with and against the natural environment to maximize their comfort and suit their changing needs.

War at Home

Learn about the experiences of the residents of our site during the Battle of Ridgefield, Connecticut’s only inland Revolutionary War battle, on April 27, 1777. Discover how the members of the Keeler household navigated community division and the war’s impact on families, and discuss how we remember the events today.

Creating Community

The early 20th century was a time of exciting change and disruptive challenges. The concept of what it meant to be a Ridgefielder, and an American, was in flux, as various groups attempted to live in community together – or not. This tour traces the stories of the immigrants, longtime Ridgefielders, and summer residents who lived and worked on our site as they navigated personal priorities and public good.
