History of Richfield Walking Tours
Join us at 1:00 p.m. on any Sunday afternoon during the month of October, when the Society will magically transport you back in time with its annual History of Richfield Walking Tours. Our narrators/storytellers will take you on a leisurely 1 mile (approximately) walk as you enjoy a 1-hour talk. Participants will meet at the Museum for each tour except the October 7 one which will be held at the West Richfield Cemetery. For more information, call the Museum at 330-659-0336.
On October 7, as part of the Richfield United Church of Christ (RUCC)) 200th anniversary commemoration, Mark Mitchell will take you on an “RUCC Founders Walk” at the West Richfield Cemetery (4219 Broadview Road) where he will share some enlightening information about the church founders who are interred at the cemetery. Participants will meet by the cemetery flagpole.
On October 14, Linda Fleming will lead you east on Rt. 303 for a very informative overview on early Richfield churches and schools of West Richfield (Rt. 303 and Rt. 176) and East Center (Rt. 303 and Rt. 21).
On October 21, Linda will be back to take participants west on Rt. 303 to the Octagonal House and will share some very fascinating history along the way.
The final walk, to take place on October 28, will be led by Pat Healey. It will start at the Museum and head north on Broadview Road. The group will make several “porch” stops along the way where former neighborhood residents will share their memories of the 40s, 50s and 60s. Participants may choose to continue their walk with Pat onto High Street or they may head back to the Museum for Mark Mitchell’s special Picture This presentation on “Richfield United Church of Christ: A Bicentennial Celebration in Pictures”. Mark will share the history of the church and its founders.
