In 1852, a sturdy farmhouse rose amidst the vast prairies. This was the beginning of the Richfield History Center and Museum story. This farmhouse, built by Riley Bartholomew, now stands as a testament to Richfield’s agricultural past. The Richfield History Center and Museum chronicles the town’s transformation from sprawling farmsteads to suburban neighborhoods. The Richfield Historical Society, founded in 1967, took on the mission of preserving this history. Their initial focus was the Bartholomew House, a window into 19th-century farm life. The Richfield History Center and Museum expanded in 2005 with a new building. This center offers a deeper dive into Richfield’s captivating story. Inside, you can explore exhibits, watch documentaries, and even conduct historical research. The Richfield History Center and Museum is more than just artifacts and displays. It’s a place to connect with the spirit of Richfield. The center welcomes visitors every Wednesday and Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. Come discover the stories etched within the walls of the Richfield History Center and Museum. They are waiting to be shared.
