Calling All Time Travelers! New Programs for 2023

By Meghan Friedland, Publisher/Editor, Macaroni KID Greater Danbury, CT March 31, 2023

Join Keeler Tavern Museum & History Center for a fun and educational summer experience! Each week-long program offers children a unique chance to explore local history through the lens of museum stories. Learn about life in historic Ridgefield and see how KTM&HC preserves and shares our history through a variety of creative, interactive, and hands-on activities. This place-based programming makes local history accessible and engaging – a great opportunity for kids.
