The First Congregational Church of Ridgefield


 This church was organized in 1712.  The current building is the third structure that has housed the congregation.  It dates to 1888 and stands on Main Street at the intersection with West Lane.

    An architecture I wouldn't have expected of 1888. But then again, maybe! I anticipate lots of dark wood for the pews...perhaps.

    What a solid looking church.The building is surprisingly old. Hope it stands of hundreds more years.

    I think the roof treatment makes this church look more modern than it is. Then you look at the stone walls and see the age. Lovely!

    Its current incarnation looks newer than it is.
