Description

Through the centuries; Richmond soil has supported everything from forest to farms to fairways. Long ago; textile mills were strung along the waterways and more than a dozen one-room schools dotted the landscape. In Richmond; rediscover those bygone places and other cherished scenes: country churches; farm boys; mill employees; state road crews with their horses; ladies in elegant hats; small-town doctors hurrying out in early automobiles; and Richmond boys in baseball and army uniforms. Meet schoolteacher Florence Richmond; legislator Lucy Rawlings Tootel; Civil War veteran David Kenyon; historian Eleanor Smith; and clothier Chet Sherman. Explore the villages of Carolina; Usquepaugh; Tug Hollow; Arcadia; Hillsdale; Wyoming; Alton; Woodville; and Wood River Junction. These people and places make Richmond a rural treasure.
