The Richfield Historical Society was formed in 1967 to preserve and share the Bartholomew House. In 2005, this historic Richfield House was joined by the History Center– built with the hard work of countless volunteers and with the support of the community.

The mission of the Richfield Historical Society is to collect, preserve, and share the history of Richfield.

At the History Center you can tour the Bartholomew House, see exhibits and documentaries, attend events, or research history in our reading room. Our tours, exhibits, and most of our events are free to the public so that everyone in Richfield feels welcome at their historical society. Stop by soon!
