Keeler Tavern

The Colonial Revival wooden building spreads across four acres, featuring exhibition rooms, a historic tavern section, and a carriage barn with garden spaces.

The structure served as a strategic point during the Battle of Ridgefield in 1777, when British forces targeted the building with cannon fire.

The museum maintains collections that document community life from colonial times through the early twentieth century, displaying period furnishings and local artifacts.

Visitors can participate in guided tours that explore multiple buildings on the property, with options for both individual and group experiences.

A British cannonball from 1777 remains embedded in the corner post of the building, marking the exact location of the Revolutionary War attack.
