Step Back in Time

Description

Summer is on its way so it's time to think about a visit to the park on these Sunday afternoons to enjoy nature and experience how people lived long ago in our various historic buildings. The Messer/Meyer Mill, Mill House and Lillicrapp Welcome Center will be open for tours.  Meet our docents in the Mill House when it is less crowded and you have time to really get an up close and personal look around. There will be various activities for kids such as washing clothes, hauling grain, grinding coffee, etc making this a family event. Outside the mill kids can pound on copper on a swage block. Stop by the Lillicrapp Welcome Center and experience a General Store from long ago. If you are hungry water and cookies will be available for $1.00.
 
Also search the Richfield Historical Society's historic photo files for your family photos.
Research fee: $5 per half hour. If research only, admission fee will be waived
