Since 1955, the Richfield Historical Society has provided a space to preserve, learn from, and interact with the past. Join us to hear about Richfield's history and the RHS's preservation projects.

Local history surrounds us, but how much do we know about our locality? How does a historical society create and maintain an accessible archive?

The Richfield Historical Society's Linda Fleming will present an overview of the Society's work to preserve Richfield's past and present, including details on:

  • The many facets of museum work accomplished by dedicated volunteers and interns with specific areas of interest.
  • Fielding queries on the Society's most frequently requested records.
  • How you can get involved, conduct research, and more.

This presentation is a part of the Mind, Body & Sole Summer Reading Program.

Learn more about the Richfield Historical Society here.

About the branch

The library experience for customers of the Richfield Branch Library is eclectic and energizing. A rich collection of books, music and movies complement programs for all ages, including storytime and interactive play opportunities, book discussion, and more. Computers and computer classes, WiFi, printing, copying, scanning, and faxing help to make the Richfield Branch Library a one-stop spot for the community's educational and entertainment needs and interests.

In the community, you will find librarians working closely with Richfield Government and Recreation, the local schools, the Garden Club, Kiwanis, and more. At the library, opportunities for individual and family engagement include an extensive NatureConnect interactive space, an ongoing StoryWalk collaboration along the Carter Pedigo Trail, and other hands-on, participatory exploration opportunities. Every time you visit the Richfield Branch Library, there is something to do, play, study, explore, or observe—and the chance to make a memory.
