Monthly programs begin January 22 for the Richfield Historical Society

The Richfield Historical Society is set for another year.

The group, which started in 1997, preserves and promotes the history of the Village of Richfield.

Joni Crovello served as the president of the Richfield Historical Society last year, and told WTKM that it's the members that make everything happen.

"It's amazing that we have quite a few people in our society that started the society. We have a lot of talented people with a lot of knowledge. We have two hundred fifteen families that are members and many volunteers." 

They continue to provide opportunities to connect with history.

The Richfield Historical Society’s monthly programs will begin this month on Thursday, January 22 at the Richfield Fire Hall at 7 p.m. Information will be shared about the Cedar Lakes Conservation Foundation and how they have partnered with property owners to conserve over 3,200 acres of land. The goal is a future landscape which maintains a balance between natural and developed areas with the water, fields, farms and forests.

The programs are held on the fourth Thursday of each month from January to May, and September through November.
