I often think that my town, Ridgefield, CT, represents the southernmost entry point into New England. Just past a three-tiered fountain, a revolutionary war tavern contains a cannonball embedded in a wall. The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum catches my eye before the soaring St. Steven's Episcopal Church cross intersects with a cloud hundreds of feet in the air. Further down Main Street sits the battlefield where Benedict Arnold fought before he betrayed the Continental Army.
