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. A generous group of volunteers and a caring community have nurtured this museum into a vibrant gem right at the heart of New Richmond. Each year the Center welcomes more than 4,000 visitors through our free field trips for school aged kids, free live music series each summer, free tours, and more!
The upkeep of the grounds and buildings are paid for through flea market sales, memberships and donations.
We welcome you to join the team of history preservers!
