The Staten Island Historical Society at Historic Richmond Town works to create opportunities for the public to explore the diversity of the American experience, especially that of Staten Island and its neighboring communities from the colonial period to the present. We preserve and present centuries of American life through the efforts of ordinary people, from every background, who worked to build an extraordinary country. Historic Richmond Town is a 501(c)(3) non-profit cultural institution of the City of New York.
Description
Step back through time to taste, smell, and touch the holiday pleasures of centuries past. Enjoy sweet holiday treats all along the way! Evening tours illuminated by candlelight showcase more than three hundred years of yuletide on Staten Island, where culture and foodways from many countries combine to create something that is uniquely New York.
Historic Richmond Town is pleased to open our doors to you for guided tours of the village.
*Note: this guided tour program should not be confused with regular Guided Tours, held during the day on the weekends.
Due to Covid-19 precaution, tours are limited to small groups from the same household or party. The maximum group size is 6 people per tour.
Tours are an hour long, and involve walking on uneven ground and narrow pathways through historic structures.
