I accompanied my daughter's class on a school trip here. It's a cute little place to visit. Our favourite thing was making homemade candles. Take a step back in time to learn how the people worked, shopped,, played and lived in pioneer times.
Great new theater company! Delightful productions!
Great place for a pitstop on the Alternative Transportation bicycle Staten Island tour.
Little town with a lot of history of the late 1700 and early 1800. Take the tour. Visit the different exhibits. You will learn how the people life on Staten island.
Richmond Town to me never disappoints, I just love the history! Tonight I took what I thought was a ghost tour of the Black house. While I have to say there was absolutely nothing scary about this tour-for $10 is was entertaining, and it amazing the knowledge the people who work there have. We actually got there early and had dinner from one of the food truck. Not my favorite, so I am not mentioning it. But Edgar's ice cream is the best way to kill time before the tour!
It's really nice here. Lots of historic places. Creepy old buildings.
This was a disappointment. It's a long ride from the Staten island ferry and we had hoped for a little right experience
Fun place to bring the kids. A lot of games and rides.
A great historic place. Nice relaxing and good for weekend.
We brought the kids trick or treating here the weekend before Halloween. My daughter had a great time and they did the whole town up really nice for the kids.
The actors were all very friendly to the kids. I suggest if you're a local and have not visited Richmond Town I suggest you do. If you're from out of town its definitely worth seeing if you have the time. Schedule a group tour and I have done the ghost tours. They are really fun.
I used to go there when I was a kid. They used to have county fairs there too.so much fun!
This is becoming one of the highlights of the island. There are constant activities on the weekends and so many educational fun and relaxing activities to do we love how historic Richmond Town has a huge following and Community built around it there are events from the islands various cultures as well as ghost stories comedy shows plays historical tours and much much more it is a must visit
A really worth seeing place. Especially for me as an amateur photographer. The old buildings exude history and I felt my way to them in awe.
It's a really nice area. Good for taking walks out hanging out. It's a good spot to play Pokemon Go. Lots of pokestops and gyms. There's also an Egger's here now so you can get ice cream too. Lots of bugs around here because of all the trees though so bring some bug spray.
Very nice quiet historical place in staten island. Lots of events. A little bit too quiet on average days. Not enough benches. There should be one by each home. Ice cream are amazing.
What a ripp off. You could go to the different houses for free, without paying the $10 dollars per person.
Nice to walk around and their events like the BBQ cook off and the Richmond County Fair are nice and great for families.
A very beautiful town with a very interesting history, recommended for family visits
There s nothing like going back in time when visiting this place. If you enjoy Staten Island history then this place is for you.
The tour was very informative. I will definitely return.
Really cute and historic spot on SI that us worth a visit especially when it gets dark. From the delicious ice cream shop to entertaining gh oy st tours that weave scary and histotical together this is a hidden gem to be explored.
Haven t been to here since I was a young boy in elementary or Jr. high school but it popped in my head when talking with a coworker about his wife making things from scratch with the Amish community. This place was a blast 20+ years ago when I visited and from the reviews I see it still must be a fantastic time. I really need to go again. Historic Richmond Town definitely left a mark on me in the best way possible. I can t imagine any kid not loving this place. Just makes you see what life was like hundreds of years ago in the original 13 colonies. Great place for kids, history buffs, or family outings imo. Btw stop over at Cookie Jar after or before you come here. Two great reasons to go to Staten Island.
Love Richmondtown...so many great community events all year and now renovations and new attractions.
Something different to do . Different activities all year round
Fun for the whole family. A bit like Colonial Williamsburg, but without the actors. Polite and helpful staff.
Always a great place for Historical knowledge. Also many events take place here. FOOD/Educational/Carnival"s etc
Gotta visit! Especially now with Eggers on premises. So much to do. Pull up the event calendar on the web because there is always something cool going on here.
We went to the Richmond County Fair over the weekend and enjoyed the rides, games and of course the ice cream!
Cooper's shop was an interesting highlight! Highly recommend to take a two hour tour of the entire compound.
Was a really fun and great experience making pancakes and touring an old house
In the heart of Staten Island, Historic Richmondtown is a must see for history buffs and those culturally curious. This displays a much different side of Staten Island and plays host to MANY great events for people of all ages.
The people are really nice and welcoming when you first enter
A great place to dive into the history of small towns. And the way America lived then. With an excursion, visit the house, the guide will tell and show everything. There are few houses, the museum is average and capacious. Definitely worth the trip from Manhattan (2 hours to get here)
Really cute little town that shows what life was like for people of yesteryear. I attended a BBQ festival here.
Thank you for taking time to collect and preserve all history and its artifacts. Huge lessons taken back to Uganda
Great place to take the family and learn about Colonial History..beautiful grounds,nice friendly people
Great family oriented atmosphere with events all year long. Also, a historical landmark not to be missed when traveling to Staten Island.
Just luved my *1st Trip to & *Work experience @40th in RICHMOND TOWN!
Nice play to visit and relax. Plenty of space to walkaround.
Richmond county fair is AWESOME! Great fun for the whole family!
Love this place, there was a massive ship anchor in someones garden.
The staff is not upfront with the customers and the events
Very disappointing. Everything closed down at 4, even though it was advertised 11-7.
Most importantly, everything was priced sky high for absolutely nothing.
Outrageous!
Very disappointing. Used to be people dressed in costumes acting according to the times. Now it's just a bunch of old buildings with no life. Waste of my money.
Lovely place with a lot of old, 18-century building. I was there on Sunday and everything was closed, even though I don't regret visitting that site. Watch out for geese and otters.
Pretty historic village. Some buildings still in progress but a lot has been done. A nice look at the history of Staten Island
Such a wonderful place & now Eggars & the outdoor concerts.
Used to feed the ducks but then the Episcopal Church forbid it. Thought isn't it odd that it's ok to turn the church into a haunted house for Halloween?
great place to see how early life was in ny a nice way to spend a day
Old home day was wonderful. Demonstrations of old trades, excellent hearth cooked bread and soup, and perfect weather.
I use to love going to the County Fair until it became a " steal your money event" and just for advertisements for real estate's and Verizon...? I dont need a plastic water bottle from them...I agree w Dave Vinci on this one, but Richmond town also taught me to love old english and European history from a young age and that gets 5 stars Only. I've moved off the island years ago because of such rotten attitudes that live there, and found its alot different and calmer and cleaner and nicer in other places but u only realize this once your gone because at the time u think it's great because it's all u have...I only come back to be disappointed to see how badly it changed from good childhood memories to what's it become and how flirty it looks as a whole, so so sad!!!!
One of the best places on the island imo. Great place to take anniversary or Christmas pictures or just spend time with your family.
We had such a great time thank you ,looking forward to do this again next year .
