Explore the RHS Facebook Archives, a rich repository of local history written by Carol Flynn. For two decades, Carol brought a deeply dedicated voice to public education at RHS. Her role as Facebook administrator through mid-2025 naturally extended her prolific research into meticulously detailed articles, most notably her multi-part historical series posts. Today, Carol continues her local history writing for The Beverly Review and other outlets.

It is our responsibility as a community to keep our history alive. You can help too!
Do you have any information about your home or your family that you would like to share with RHS? We are looking for any photographs or documents that would help us create a living resource for the history of the Ridge community.
If you have any information, contact Ridge Historical Society at 773-881-1675 or ridgehistory@hotmail.com

Here is a #FlashbackFriday from our digital archive. Can anyone name what street corner this is?
