Education

The Education Committee is focused on making Richfield history interesting and exciting for young and old.

Our “Traveling Trunk”  is on the move. We are ready to travel for the New Year. You or someone you know might be interested in viewing it. The Traveling Trunk contains items from the past. In its travels, it has shared items with schools, scout troops, and senior groups.

Our  program  on “Turn of the Century” advertising is appropriate for adult groups such as senior centers.

The lower photo on the right shows where the Klippel Meat Market once operated. It is one of many stops along the streets of Richfield during our "Richfield Walk" for the school children. Some other stops are the General Store, Blacksmith Shop, Bank, and where the Harness Shop was in business. 

During the summer months and at our annual Thresheree, we offer Messer / Mayer Grist Mill tours to individuals and groups. We are always looking for persons who may be interested in helping to give these tours. There will be training sessions.

Call (262) 628-1546 to schedule the Traveling Trunk or Advertising program, to give Mill/House tours, or for additional information.
