Richmond Hill History Museum - Richmond Hill, Georgia

Wow! What an amazing museum. The layout of information is great, and there were so many interesting things to look at. I real appreciated that the informational boards were easy to read and included photographs along with a mix of physical items. I learned a lot of new information about the town I grew up in. Make sure you ask the attendant to open the barber shop for you — it’s a time capsule!

Was driving by and saw that this place was open. Stopped in and the very knowledgeable staff gave a great tour and was very very knowledgeable. It started out with a short movie then we looked at the rest of the rooms. The museum does have history of the local area. However is mainly focused on Henry Ford. I’m still surprised all the things Henry Ford was involved in to include the building of Richmond Hills.

WHAT AN EXPERIANCE. The guide (Paul) was really friendly and very well informed. The focus of the museum is the growth of the Richmond area based on the sponsorship of Henry Ford from 1925 to 1945.
Not CARS! PEOPLE! Jobs with good pay and building a community not just a company. Schools, bakery, general store, saw mill, and farming cash crops. As well as industrial development and engineering.
The town continues to grow with the seeds planted by Henry.
( hint look for the Georgia fruit cake for a real treat)

This is another excellent small museum. Goes thru the history of Henry Ford and Richmond Hill. Displays are well done. The volunteers were very helpful. We felt we had a private tour and lecture during our visit. Wonderful complete history of the area.

Ein absolut interessantes Museum. Dort habe ich auch viel über den Auto Erfinder Henry Ford erfahren. Er hat nicht nur Autos, sondern auch Strümpfe/Socken erfunden, da er ein Febel dafür hatte. Aber er hat noch sehr viel mehr erfunden. Aber auch andere Geschichte wurde dort vermittelt. Ich habe den Besuch nicht bereut. Super interessant Ar auch der angrenzende, historische Barbershop

The Richmond Hill History Museum is a hidden gem! My recent visit was a fascinating journey through time, covering Richmond Hill's history from the 1700s to the Henry Ford era. Learning about the Fords' connection to the area, and my great grandfather, J.F. Gregory, was truly special.

The staff's Southern hospitality made the experience even more enjoyable. Plus, the admission price is incredibly reasonable – $8 for adults and only $4 for members of the Historical Society and their families. It's a much better deal compared to other Savannah museums.

I highly recommend this museum to anyone interested in local history

My Cub scout pack attended the Winter Muster Reenactment here. It did not disappoint! However I would recommend for this particular event that young child wear ear muffs as the cannons were deafening! Very realistic reenactments and afterwards the volunteer actors were able to let the kids explore and answer any questions they had.

If you haven’t visited you need to! Richmond Hill has a rich history. Many people are unaware of how our town came to be. The museum is a great learning experience and also has a great gift shop!
