THE RICHMOND HILL HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Richmond Hill, New York
The Richmond Hill Historical Society (R.H.H.S.) is a nonprofit organization that promotes historic preservation efforts in the Village of Richmond Hill. It was founded in the early 1980's by a group of concerned citizens who wanted to establish a showcase and archive dedicated to preserving the history of Richmond Hill, including its rich architectural and cultural heritage.
Our local, non-profit organization is dedicated to the preservation of Richmond Hill's past. We offer educational programs for adults and children, and sponsor community events.
