Which Shelton, Connecticut locations are mentioned in Olde Ripton Garden Club posts?
Updated
The Olde Ripton Garden Club site names three Shelton, Connecticut locations in its "Scarecrows in Town – 2026" post: Plumb Memorial Library, Perry Hill School, and the Richard O. Beldon Cultural Center. According to the post, these are civic gardens around town where scarecrows are appearing. The locations are mentioned as display sites for a club community project, not described in any official capacity by the club.
The three locations and how they appear
| Location | How the post refers to it | What the post says happens there |
|---|---|---|
| Plumb Memorial Library | Listed by name | Part of the civic gardens where "more scarecrows are showing up" |
| Perry Hill School | Listed by name | Same — a civic garden site for the scarecrow display |
| Richard O. Beldon Cultural Center | Listed by name | Same — a civic garden site for the scarecrow display |
The post's wording is that "more scarecrows are showing up in civic gardens around town," followed by the three names. It does not give addresses, opening hours, or any description of the venues themselves.
What this tells you about the club's activity
The scarecrow post is an example of how the club shares community projects: it reports on decorations placed in public and civic garden spaces around Shelton rather than at a single club-owned site. If you want to see the displays, the post points you to these three civic gardens as the places mentioned — but treat that as a club update, not a venue guide.
Points to keep in mind
- Source scope: The location details come only from the club's own post (credited to Diana Wehger, dated October 15, 2026). The site does not present itself as an official source for the library, school, or cultural center.
- Verify before visiting: Because the post gives no addresses or schedules, confirm each venue's location and public access separately before planning a trip.
- Check for updates: The post says "more scarecrows are showing up," which suggests the list of sites could grow; the club's news page is the place to watch for additions.
Where to look next
For the current list of display sites and any later posts about town projects, check the club's news and updates section on olderiptongardenclub.org. For practical details about the three venues — directions, hours, whether the gardens are publicly accessible — use each venue's own official information rather than the club post.
