Nestled alongside the Nippersink,
one of Illinois’ most picturesque
creeks, the Village of Richmond
revels in its unspoiled, historic
charm. From its humble beginnings
nearly 160 years ago, Richmond has preserved
and renovated many of its original downtown
buildings, housing many of the antique stores,
restaurants, and speciality shops, for which the
town has become famous.

Shopping in Richmond is reminiscent of the
way it used to be. You will enjoy a leisurely
pace and the individual attention you won’t
find at the mall. Our charming downtown is
full of turn-of-the-last-century buildings, each
housing its own bit of history.

into town, you’ll find that Richmond beckons
you to come visit and explore.

With a wide variety of options, select
from several casual family cafés–a
50’s style drive-in, an Irish Pub

Tapas & Martini Bar, or perhaps,
fine-dining with an Italian flare.
