Heritage staff also will be working hand-in-glove with members of the Ridgefield Historical Society researching Revolutionary War records and pension documents to identify specific combatants, including Native American and African Americans. The project also will have a substantial public outreach and engagement component. Specific goals of the project are: --Ascertain?the location of General David Wooster’s Division following the Second Engagement on April 27, 1777.
