Explore the historic trades of Historic Richmond Town

Discover historic crafts from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries of Staten Island life.

Our modern day experts demonstrate these crafts during our Open Village season and special programs and events throughout the year. The materials, techniques, and tools used to master these historic trades are as time period correct as possible. As a result, tradespeople produce original household utensils, common tools, and traditional recipes; some of which are available for purchase at Historic Richmond Town’s Main Village Site.
