Historic Richmond Town is a remarkable living history village, historical museum and arboretum. As Staten Island's largest and oldest cultural institution, Historic Richmond Town operates the only living history village in the City of New York: 100 acres and 38 structures across four unique properties, which include the largest collection of the oldest houses in NY State. We proudly preserve more than 60,000 artifacts, photographs, and archival collections from different time periods, and provide a rich array of creative and interpretive public programs, workshops, and guided tours designed to immerse the public in centuries of local history and promote diversity, representation, and equity for all.
