Our biggest fundraiser, the Richmond County Fair!


Staten Island’s annual community celebration and Historic Richmond Town’s biggest fundraiser.

For 44 years, Historic Richmond Town has hosted the Richmond County Fair, and we are honored to welcome everyone to enjoy the best of Staten Island. Also, it is our most important fundraiser of the year, and your ticket to the Richmond County Fair directly supports Historic Richmond Town in its mission to preserve and share our local history.

Historic Richmond Town is remarkable. It is the most complete living history museum in New York City.  It is operated by the Staten Island Historical Society. Founded in 1856, the organization interprets and restores a living history village, operates a historical museum, and collects and preserves material culture to inspire engagement with and understanding of the diverse histories of Staten Island.

When you purchase a ticket to the Richmond County Fair, you are supporting Historic Richmond Town. Proceeds from the Richmond County Fair contribute to the preservation and restoration efforts for all 40 historic Staten Island buildings, 112 acres, and over 4 properties cared for by Historic Richmond Town. Your support helps us provide educational programming throughout the year to over 25,000 students.

Historic Richmond Town is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. We are grateful for our supporters who help us fulfill our mission. We say thank you to our corporate sponsors, community partners, and everyone who attends the Richmond County Fair. Thank you and enjoy the fun of the Fair!
