245th anniversary of Battle of Ridgefield commemorated

245th anniversary commemoration events were held in Ridgefield this weekend to mark the Revolutionary War Battle of Ridgefield.  The Ridgefield Historical Society kicked off the events Friday with a panel discussion about the skeletal remains of what are believed to be war-era soldiers.  State archaeologists and researchers are continuing to investigate the 4 sets of remains discovered in 2019 by a homeowner renovating a basement.  37 brass alloy buttons and two made of pewter were also discovered.  One button turned out to be a finial from the base of a gun powder horn, which researchers say indicates that these men were engaged in fighting. An American Battlefield Protection Program Grant money will be used to conduct further research in Ridgefield over the next two years to determine more about the battlefield itself.
