THE ORIGINAL sign from the front of the Richardson Inn, circa 1824 is pictured here. It was donated by a descendent of Alvan Richardson, the community's first permanent settler, and for whom the community is named.

The purpose of the Richburg-Wirt Society is to bring together those persons interested in history, and especially the history of the community of Richburg and Wirt.

Meetings: Held first Monday of each month, March through December at 7:00 p.m. We meet at the Richburg-Wirt Historical Society Museum, 243 Main St. (Route 275), Richburg, NY. We often have speakers and occasionaly go on field trips that are of interest to the group. Visitors are always welcome!
