Maybe go in 5 years once they have done a bit more work. Not a lot to see and some access across busy roads is difficult. Couple of women wandering around in period clothes but didn't appear to be part of the exhibit.

The advertising done to lure tourists to Historic Richmond Town is a shameful misrepresentation. I feel for anyone who takes public transportation to this disappointing "attraction." Once called "The next Williamsburg" Historic Richmond Town has changed little in five decades. Simply a collection of very old, worn out buildings.

The houses are falling apart, Grounds are in very bad shape. Time to get the management removed from the place and get new people into the place. Management not doing a damn thing to save the historic houses.

Touring the site of Historic Richmond Town is a history lesson with visuals. However Historic Richmondtown is much more - it plans special events to draw many to the site to experience what it has to offer. BBQ Contest, Chili Cook Off, Uncorked, Carnival and much more is planned each year on the ground of this wonderful SI treasure

Having lived on Staten Island most of my life, Richmondtown was a frequent destination. It is a collection of as many historic houses as they can save brought together at the original courthouse. For me, the biggest draw here is the Voorleezer's House. This is the oldest schoolhouse in the United States and it is sitting exactly where it was built in the 1600's!! They do a lovely Christmas. They've had Civil War Re-enactments. A tinsmith, a printer, a general store - and more. Ask at the Tysen House about the pink child's coat the silver was hidden in. I believe it is now in the museum. All in all, it makes for a lovely afternoon.

Such a fun day with friends... Loved this years Flying Dogs and Flagship beer truck. Happy to support Historic Richmond Town.

Historic Richmond Town is a collection of mostly 18th century buidings, most of which were moved there from other Staten Isl. areas. The visitor center has rest rooms, a video describing the site, and a small gift shop. Since most the buildings are not open, the very large site resembles a ghost town. Some reviewers complained of not enough to see, do or eat. But if you get a guided tour of inside 3 or 4 buildings, and are truly into what life here was like in the 18th and early 19th centuries, you should enjoy this. It's probably not for kids or tourists. Not yet anyway.

This attraction was advertised in our New York Pass, and was really not worth the time taken to get to it and see it. The site looked desolate. The volunteer café was not yet open for the season (this is late June). There were only 2 other family groups there. We had a short tour with a pleasant gentleman, but non of the attractions such as the printing press, textiles or other crafts were yet in operation. The whole place needs a spruce up and recognition that visitors will want to see things and not feel the place is surprized to get visitors. This could be really interesting and a pleasant trip away from Manhattan, but not yet. You can get to it via the free Staten Island Ferry and then by a bus journey (takes over half an hour). There is a small gift shop and a vending machine.

It's free and that by itself makes it worth the effort. There is a small quaint museum and many restored building to visit and look at. It is a pleasant way to spend the afternoon. It is also the site of the Richmond County Fair every year as well as some other events. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Parking is not a problem and free and it is centrally located on SI.

Very small site, seasonal and absolutely nothing to do. You can go into your neighborhood wooded aera and see more. It took over a hour by car from the Verranzzo Narrows Bridge to get there. There are a few ducks and a small lovely church there. By no means do not go, wait for the Outlets at St. George to be built.
