The church was organized in 1680. At the outset it bounced back and forth between Congregational and Anglican depending on the minister. The current building is the fourth, constructed in 1872. It is part of the Bedford Village Historic District.
In 1900 a New York businessman who summered in Ridgefield, James Morris, bought land on Main Street in Ridgefield and had a library building constructed. The building blends Art Deco, Beaux Arts and Chicago styles of architecture. Morris dedicated it to his late wife, Elizabeth. It opened in 1903.
Though the Morris Library has been incorporated into much bigger and more modern library buildings, four of the original rooms remain in service.
One reading room houses newspapers and magazines.
A second reading room contains the library's fine and performing arts collections.
