When you visit you'll discover that Historic Richmond Town rests on over 100 acres and encompasses four sites, include NYC's oldest continuously operating farm. The main village is located in the heart of Richmond County and occupies almost 50 acres featuring over 30 original historic structures, including homes and commercial and civic buildings, as well as a historical museum. We stress "original" because unlike many other musuems R-Town is not reconstructed or rebuilt. It's the real thing. Three addtional sites include one of the oldest homes in the country, still standing on its original location for almost 350 years, and our 11 acre organic farm.
We recommend you come early and plan to stay for awhile. A visit to Historic Richmond Town is a family outing that provides an opportunity for everyone to experience the domestic, commercial and civic activities that supported families and community for more than 300 years.
