SUMMARY:Ridgefield’s Great Estates Bus Tour
DESCRIPTION:More than 20 grand estates that covered much of Ridgefield a century ago will be the focus of a bus tour presented by the Ridgefield Historical Society\, from 10 am to 1 pm on Saturday\, Nov. 7\, 2026. \nTown Historian Jack Sanders\, author of the book\, Ridgefield’s Great Estates\, will bring the group to and sometimes through these grand properties during a 25-mile excursion of the town\, describing the grounds and mansions – some of which are still standing and have been repurposed. Beginning and ending at Jesse Lee Church at 207 Main Street in Ridgefield\, the tour is entirely by mini school bus and will not include walking around or inside buildings. Seating is limited to 16 people and is expected to sell out quickly. \nFor a complete experience\, tour-goers should bring their copies of Ridgefield’s Great Estates\, for illustrations to which Mr. Sanders will be referring throughout the trip. Copies may be ordered as an add-on at checkout and will be distributed at the bus tour. This book can also be purchased from our friends at Books on the Common. A couple of copies will be available on loan for the tour. \nA Fairfield County native and graduate of the College of the Holy Cross\, Jack Sanders retired in 2014 after 45 years as an editor of The Ridgefield Press. He’s written 20 books on Ridgefield history\, and also created and administers the “Old Ridgefield” group on Facebook\, which has more than 13\,000 followers. He and his wife\, Sally\, a retired newspaper editor who is vice president of the Ridgefield Historical Society\, live in a 250-year old farmhouse in Ridgefield.

SUMMARY:Tellabration 2026
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the art of storytelling at Ridgefield’s Tellabration 2026 on Saturday\, Nov. 21. Founded in 1988 by PawPaw Pinkerton in Connecticut\, Tellabration has grown into a global tradition\, bringing people together through the power of shared stories. Dr. Darla Shaw will return as M.C. and as a story teller. She recruits and coaches the team of storytellers who each share true four-minute (strictly observed) stories that connect to Ridgefield. \n\nTopics this year range from a true crime story to stories highlighting the history of the Ridgefield schools to a neighborhood history and reminiscence (“To Think I Saw It on Mulberry Street” by former State Representative John Frey). The other storytellers include Mary Ellen Pagano\, Rob Mayette\, Marc Katz\, Tom McManus\, Gregg Hutchings\, Daryl Noble\, Anne Beatty\, Walter Beatty\, Joan Voss\, and Manette Hutchings. \nDue to limited parking and seating at the Scott House\, registration is required for this free event
