Richfield Historical Society

25th Annual Thresheree & Harvest Festival
September 21, 2024

A beautiful Saturday, September 21, saw the Richfield Historical/Nature Park teeming with activity that brought back memories, smiles to faces, pleasant smells, lots of different sounds to your ears and a day of enjoyment outdoors.

An all-day rainy Sunday, September 22, caused the event to be regretfully cancelled.

What did visitors do and see?
