In recent drives, four red pre-Revolutionary houses caught my eye.
The Ridgefield Historical Society is housed in the 1712 David Scott house. It has been relocated twice.
The Betts-Sturgis-Blackmar House from about 1740 is one of the buildings that houses the Wilton Historical Society. Wilton is the town immediately to the south of Ridgefield. "Wilton Works" is a current exhibition about the transformation from an agrarian society to a manufacturing hub.
The Beers House on Ridgefield Road in Wilton is an attention-getter with a prominent location. It has a sign indicating it dates back to 1756, but it has undergone centuries of updates and restorations.
A 1740 pre-Revolutionary house is two houses past the New York state line in South Salem. A yoga studio is in an extension at the rear of the house.
A fine looking Colonial house with a long history. Perhaps there are additions on the back.
