Tonight the Richfield Historical Society held their October meeting at the Richfield Fire Hall and their program focused on Ellis Island. Two society members described how they gathered genealogy on immigrants to the Richfield area and created various story boards titled Coming to America, coming to Wisconsin and coming to Richfield. These boards will be available to community groups for display.
A historical overview was presented on immigration in the 1800's and 1900's followed by a video and audio titled "Island of Hope and Island of Tears". It focused on Ellis Island in New York. Over 60 people attended this program.
Here is a link to that video for those who could not attend the presentation.
Please consider attending the November meeting/program on Tuesday, November 15th at the Richfield Village Hall. “Sacred Drum Circle” by Herb Heck – Dirty Kettle Re-enactor will be the program for November.
Look forward to seeing you in November.
