Ridgefield History Club: Exploring the Korker Collection

History Club will Celebrate ‘Korky’ with Photo Show

The March 18 meeting of the Ridgefield History Club will be devoted to Clarence Korker’s photographs, a sampling of the thousands that he created over his more than 40 years at the Ridgefield Photo Shop on Main Street in Ridgefield. Mr. Korker, who just turned 100, now lives in Florida.

Keith Russell, the Historical Society volunteer who’s been working with the Korker Collection’s negatives and creating the digital scans, selected some of his recent favorites and will lead the discussion. Jack Sanders, who has written 10 books on Ridgefield history, will also be on hand.

Ridgefield History Club is an informal history discussion at which participants are invited to share their insights and ask questions. The free one-hour meeting on Tuesday, March 18, will begin at 10 a.m. at the Ridgefield Historical Society headquarters in the Scott House, 4 Sunset Lane. Everyone is welcome.

Space is limited and we ask that people sign up in advance here. For more information, call 203-438-5821 or email [email protected].
