Signage and other information is spotty at best.  To actually get here, take SR 102 off US 7 and turn left after 0.3 miles on Old Branchville Road, turn left at the first left (Nod Hill Rd) and follow until you see the parking area for the site on the left (#735).  The site is located in Wilton, but you travel through Ridgefield to get there.  There are very few signs and the ones that do exist are very small.
