Richmond Town and Lighthouse Hill

Historic Richmond Town, established in 1958 by the Staten Island Historical Society and the City of New York, is a 100-acre historic village. With many carefully-restored sites, the area boasts events, tours, and places to visit. The photographs that make up this fascinating visual history bring to life the rich cultural heritage of this unique area. Like layers of antique paint, years peel back, revealing scenes from a time when things seemed simpler. As we turn the pages, we visit the Voorlezer House, St. Andrew s Church, the Lighthouse, the home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and the Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art."
