Historic Richmond Town

Also known as: Staten Island Historical Society, Richmondtown Restoration

The 100-acre living-history museum complex run by the Staten Island Historical Society — 30+ historic buildings spanning three centuries of Staten Island life, the working Decker Farm, and one of the most-developed local-history education programs in NYC. The institutional layer that has kept Staten Island's pre-20th-century material history present and walkable rather than archived.

Why this listing

A bioregion needs an institutional memory — somewhere the place’s 200-year agricultural and cultural arc is held visible. Historic Richmond Town is that institution for [[annadale|Staten Island]]. Listed as knowledge-care because what it preserves is the borough’s own ability to remember what it was, which is a precondition for deciding what it becomes next.
