The New Richmond Preservation Society, Inc. was chartered in 1982 to preserve the history of the City of New Richmond and surrounding area. The Society owns and operates the Heritage Center, which is open for tours, programs and events.
When you visit our museum of 12 historic buildings filled with artifacts from our past, you will be able to get a feel for how early citizens would have lived and worked.
Several of the buildings were once the center of a working family farm. That farmland has now become crisscrossed by city streets, its fields of corn and grain now host to houses, yards, driveways and swingsets. But, the heart, the nerve center, of that farm has been retained: the Victorian Italianate farmhouse, the classic barn, the grain storage building they called a "granary." The pasture where the dairy herd once grazed after they waded in the small creek is still there (changed to a recreational walking trail system). These buildings offer a unique opportunity to step back in time to the early days of New Richmond.
