Join us for a fun and educational summer experience! Each year, our week-long summer programs offer children a unique chance to explore local history through the lens of our 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.
In 2024, the theme is History Detectives. Kids will work together to solve the Mystery of the Missing Cannonball, using historian-inspired skills (archeology! document analysis! storytelling!) to find clues.
