REMEMBERING RICHLAND
Featured Exhibit
Now open with updated displays and stories

Experience what was Richland in the museum's main exhibit hall. You'll get a glimpse into how it felt to stand in the middle of main street flanked by murals depicting the north and south side of this one block long main street. Relics, replicas and stories will give you a taste of days gone by of the rural, simple town life in middle America.
