Walking into Historic Richmond Town is like stepping back in time to the 1950s. Once a bustling center for business and government, Richmond Town enjoyed centuries of illustrious history and plenty of thriving business. But when Staten Island became one of the five boroughs of New York in the late 19th century, Richmond Town began to decline. In 1958, Historic Richmond Town was established as a historic preservation site, with over 30 original structures on over 100 acres of land. Visitors can visit the town to see the oldest operating farm in New York City and one of the oldest houses in the entire United States.
