RICHMOND — Sunday will mark the first of hopefully several more open houses this summer at the Crew House Museum at 34 W. Main St. The museum features a variety of town memorabilia and includes a second floor dedicated to Jefferson Union High School items of interest. In January 1835, Richmond village, which had been laid out in 1815 and where Stewart was living, was incorporated. In the following several decades, Richmond became a bustling town with a hotel, post office, physicians and trades of all sorts. There was even a private school, first called Richmond Classical Institute, and then Richmond College, which flourished for a time, Judy said.
