As the days grow shorter and colder, and the calendar year begins its slow retreat, the rush of the holidays come upon us. The season is full of celebrations, visiting with friends and family, gift-buying stress, and time-honored traditions. For many years, Candlelight Tours at Historic Richmond Town have been a staple of Staten Island holiday activities. Visitors come back year after year to explore historic homes lit by candles, festooned for the Christmastide with decorations and alive with costumed interpreters. This year, on weekends in November and December, this annual favorite returns.

This Winter, Historic Richmond Town launched its first series of Cabin Fever Reliever programs. Adults and families across Staten Island enthusiastically responded to these hands-on offerings intended to break the monotony of the winter doldrums

2020 is an election year, and Historic Richmond Town is celebrating with a new exhibition opening on April 11 during our Spring in Historic Richmond Town event! The rear gallery of the Historical Museum will soon be home to a new and exciting exhibition focusing on the ever-changing modes of the election process.
