Richmond
Area Historical and Genealogical SocietyMemorial Bricks
Part
of the Society's mission is to honor and remember those who cleared
the land, grew the crops, educationed the young and to pay homage to those
who fought in the wars and sacrificed their lives for something they believed
in. To fulfill this objective, a memorial brick walkway was installed
at Bailey Historical Park. Bricks may be etched to honor an ancestor,
recognise a loved one, or show support by a corporation. The bricks come
in two sizes: small (up to 3 lines/15 characters per line) are $30 and
and large (up to 6 lines/15 characters per line ) are $100. If you are
looking for that special gift that keeps on giving, a personalized brick
makes an ideal present. Click here for an order

Note Cards
The Society is selling note cards in a package of 4 for $5.00 or 8 for $10 (plus $1 shipping). These cards contain four different color photographs of our Historic Park with a brief history of our Society on the back. They are nicely packaged and ready for giving as a gift or using yourself.

Newspaper Project
The Richmond Area Historical and Genealogical Society has been busy preserving the old issues of the Richmond Review. The years of 1911 through 1959 are currently available on cd (missing in that timeframe are 1918, 1926, 1933, 1943, 1946, and 1957).
It is the Society’s goal to preserve and publish all the issues currently available for the years 1876 through 2000. That will require the raising of an additional $18,600 to scan the remaining 40 years. To make a donation to the Newspaper Project contact Laurel Emerson.
