We are sponsoring our 13th Annual Historic Home and Garden Tour on Saturday, June 8, 2019, from 11 AM - 4 PM. It will include 3 historic homes and 1 garden. Advance sale adult tickets are $10 -- $12 if purchased the day of the event. Advance and same day tickets for children ages 2-12 are $1 and children under age 2 are free. A boxed lunch may be ordered in advance for an additional $7. Lunches will include a croissant sandwich -- choice of ham, turkey or vegetarian -- coleslaw, fruit, chips, dessert and drink.
The tour will begin at the Richfield Fellowship Hall, located at 3903 Broadview Road, where participants will pick up their event program/ticket. Complimentary beverages and cookies will be available throughout the day at the hall. Lunches, for those who ordered, will be picked up there as well. Participants are advised to wear comfortable shoes (no spiked heels are permitted in the homes). No children under age 12 are allowed on the tour, and it is not wheelchair accessible. The event will be held “rain or shine”. To purchase advance tickets and lunch, if desired, send appropriate payment (check made payable to “Richfield Historical Society”) to Richfield Historical Society, P.O. Box 215, Richfield 44286. Advance sale tickets will be held at the admission table for pick up the day of the event – or you may include a self-addressed, postage paid #10 envelope with your ticket order. If purchasing lunch, be sure to indicate choice of sandwich as detailed above. The deadline for advance ticket sales and purchase of lunch (must be pre-ordered) is June 5. Advance tickets are also available at Countryside Florist located at 4553 Broadview Road in Richfield.
An “old-fashioned” plant swap/sale will be held the day of the tour, 11 a.m. to sellout, just off the parking lot by the Historical Museum of Richfield (3907 Broadview Road -- just north of Fellowship Hall). Individuals may bring perennial plants or houseplants (divided or cuttings) in waterproof containers. All plants must be identified and labeled accordingly. For those who don’t have anything to “swap”, plants will be available for purchase at nominal cost.
On Sunday, June 23, 2 PM., at the Museum, Scott Luther and Matt Choma will deliver “South Richfield Podcast Presents: Tragedy in Richfield”. The spring of 1871 saw the tranquility of this peaceful town shattered by an assassin bent on winning the hand of a girl he had only met once. Feeling he had been wronged, John Hunter descended upon Richfield with only one thing in mind - vengeance. Scott and Matt, hosts of the South Richfield Podcast, will take a look at the events leading to the murders of prominent citizens Robert and Elizabeth Gargett in what was at that time one of the bloodiest and most horrible crimes in state history. This presentation is free and open to the public. No reservations are required.
