Historic Richmond Town, NY
Charter a coach bus to Historic Richmond Town in New York City. This is a living history village and museum complex. Visitors can explore the diversity of the American experience, especially that of Staten Island and its neighboring communities, from the colonial period to the present. In the heart of Staten Island, there is a place where the past can still be experienced with all of your senses. The story of Richmond Town reveals layers of the past, and the lives of ordinary people connected to each other in many ways. From its beginning as a rural crossroad, through its development as county seat, to its place as a rustic outpost within New York City, this has been a community of people living and working together. The village area occupies 25 acres of a 100 acre site with about 15 restored buildings, including homes and commercial and civic buildings, as well as a museum. A visit to Historic Richmond Town is an opportunity for all visitors to experience the domestic, commercial and civic activities that supported families and community for more than 300 years. You will pass through time to rural Staten Island of the 1820s and visit the farmhouse where Elizabeth Lake Tysen was born and later raised 10 children of her own. Closer to the Courthouse, you will see the buildings of the town center, including the home and general store owned by Stephen D. Stephens in the 1860s.
