Town Of Ridgely History

RidgelyHistory01

 

 

The Good Life In Caroline County 1861              by William Short Ridgely, who lived at   Oakland just north of the town (1867)             that was to be  named after his father.

The Ridgely Historical Society was formed by Janice White the end of 2005 at a request from the Town Manager. The idea to form an historical society was an offshoot of an attempt by the Town to create an historical district. While this didn’t happen, the Ridgely Historical Society became a chapter of the Caroline County Historical Society in March of 2006.

First officers were:
Janice White, President
Nancy Gearhart, VP
Jerry Sutton, Treasurer
Jeanne Saulsbury, Secr

Meetings are held at 7pm the 2nd Thursday of the month, September  thru June.

Donations made to Ridgely Historical Society, are tax deductible.
