Author and illustrator Maurice Sendak was a 40 year resident of Ridgefield. His 1963 book "Where the Wild Things Are" is one of the best-selling children's books and is on many children's bookshelves.
Sendak's house is in a quiet, wooded part of Ridgefield. For years there has been talk of creating a Sendak museum, so far without action, though there is a large stone-faced addition out of sight to the left of the house, which holds Sendak archives.
