KTM&HC's History: In 1965, a group of Ridgefield residents came together out of a common interest to preserve the history of the Keeler Tavern, a local and important landmark located in the heart of town. Concerned about protecting its original structure, artifacts and historical importance to the community, they formed the Keeler Tavern Preservation Society, Inc. Since then, KTM&HC has provided educational and cultural programs designed to maintain and promote its significance as a living example of American life and identify over hundreds of years of history. Our archives tell the stories of many individuals, including the Keeler, Resseguie, and Gilbert families. KTM&HC designated as a historical landmark in 1982 and our mission remains committed to promoting regional history and heritage through programs, tours, and special events. KTM&HC is governed by a President and a Board of Directors and receives strong support from donors, members, volunteers, and the community.
