Richmond Hill Heritage Centre

The Richmond Hill Heritage Centre is a restored residence at the corner of Church Street and Centre Street East, near Mill Pond Park. The building displays Regency-style features and houses historical exhibitions along with events such as afternoon teas and educational programs.

The house was built in 1840 as a Regency-style residence and served several local families as their home. In 1997 it was transformed into a heritage center and now preserves the community's story for the public.

The center displays the history of Richmond Hill through objects and photographs showing how the place grew from a small settlement into today's city. Visitors can learn about the people and events that shaped the community from these collections.

Visitors should sign up for guided tours and check available events ahead of time, as these vary by season. The center is easily accessible from nearby streets and sits beside a park where you can stroll before or after your visit.

The building preserves original architectural details from the 19th century such as deep window wells and French doors. These features give the house its distinctive character and let visitors sense how residents lived back then.
