Richfield Springs Historic Association and Museum

The Richfield Springs Historic Association and Museum collects and shows more than 150 years of life in rural Central New York. It is housed in the historic Gladstone, a building that is itself part of the village’s story, and visitors can see how a small farm-country village lived, worked and celebrated across generations.

Inside are artifacts, photos and writings, plus a growing collection of school yearbooks, landmark celebration artifacts, maps and video presentations. It is a good stop for anyone who wants to understand how a rural New York village and its neighbors lived and changed over time.
