The Richfield Historical Society (RHS) invites all to welcome fall at its annual Thresheree & Harvest Festival event.

The celebration will be held Saturday and Sunday, September 21^st and 22^nd, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm at Richfield Historical Park located at 1896 Hwy 164, Richfield WI 53076. Admission is $6 for adults, 12 and under free, and parking is free. A wagon ride to the festival area is also free.

This will be the 25^th year for Richfield Historical Society’s largest event, featuring field demonstrations including steam engine threshing, log sawing, plowing, and draft horses.

There are plenty of children’s activities as well, including a children’s reserved play area and vintage games at the Welcome Center.

As always, tours of all the park’s historical buildings will be free. These include the 1871 sawmill, the Miller’s House, the Lillicrap House (Welcome Center), and the Pioneer Homestead area with its log structures and blacksmith shop.

The event is accompanied by live music, and a variety of delicious foods items will be offered, making it a lovely outing in the park!
