On Wednesday, Feb. 10, at 4 p.m., a Former Editor of The Ridgefield Press, Jack Sanders, will share recent research that reveals that the Armstrongs not only operated a Ridgefield station on the Underground Railroad, but that shows that their grandsons were among the many Black soldiers who fought and died in the Civil War. He will introduce other Black families who lived on Ned’s Mountain and also sent sons to the 29th Regiment of Connecticut Volunteers. Two heroes of the Underground Railroad, Edward and Betsy Armstrong, are buried in Ridgebury Cemetery, located in the Ridgebury neighborhood of Ridgefield. Their home on Ned’s Mountain provided refuge for people making the dangerous journey to safety from enslavement in the South.
