Here is a wonderful holiday memory from last year when we partnered with the Womens Club of Ridgewood, local businesses and neighbors who opened their homes for our Historic House Tour. Hopefully we can do this again. Let us know what you thought of it!

Don't forget to pick up one of these nifty bags at the Franklin Ave Stop & Shop while you're getting all your cookie baking ingredients! Santa will give lots of extra "good" points for doing this simple and easy good deed!

We are now accepting orders until Nov. 15th for customized maps for Ridgewood homes built prior to 1930. Place your order now to receive your map before the holidays. All proceeds go to the Ridgewood Historical Society. For more info, and to order a map, please visit https://ridgewoodhistoricalsociety.org/historichouse/

What a find! Thanks Mary!

May Joy and Peace be yours throughout the New Year. Happy Hanukkah!

If you didn't have a chance to catch this interesting and informative program when it was presented last year at the Ridgewood Library, (or you just really enjoy the amazing tag team of Peggy and Joe!), tune in to our friends at the Mahwah Library. You won't be sorry!

The Ridgewood Historical Society salutes all the brave men and women who gave their lives 79 years ago. We thank you for our freedom.

Happy Halloween from the Ridgewood Historical Society!

You can fit a lot of Holiday cheer in each bag! It's such an easy way to help us preserve Ridgewood history.
