Richmondville combines historic sites and rural attractions with the Cobleskill Creek Trail. When choosing your dates, consider the specific differences: Jubilee Farms offers fresh produce in summer; flowers and lavender products may vary seasonally, and you should check the availability of tours in advance.

Church and Mill History

Richmondville United Methodist Church has been at its current location since the 1890s. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 14, 2006. These two dates provide a timeline for the town's history, from the church's long history at this site to its later listing on the register.

The history of the Bunn Grist Mill, by contrast, centers on its construction. The historic museum is housed in a three-story building that was built around 1885 as a carriage factory. The mill is often used for music and art events. Tours of the mill and the adjacent pond are another part of what it offers. If you plan to take a tour, check its availability for your preferred date in advance.

Rural Attractions at Jubilee Farms

Jubilee Farms is a 19-acre farm in Richmondville. The farm features a 100-year-old barn, Huacaya alpacas, Babydoll sheep, German Angora rabbits and numerous chickens. Alongside its produce, the barn and variety of animals offer a rural theme for your trip.

Offerings include free-range eggs and fresh produce in summer. Lavender and cut flowers are hand-cut and offered as bouquets and arrangements to take home. Lavender products made there, such as soap, cookies, sachets, tea and candles, are also available for purchase. If you have a particular product in mind, ask about it in advance: the availability of flowers and lavender products may vary seasonally.

A Section of the Cobleskill Creek Trail

The Cobleskill Creek Trail is intended to connect the Village of Cobleskill and the Village of Richmondville. A 1,500-foot section along West Creek was completed in summer 2012. Two points of reference help put this in context: the connection goal applies to the trail, while the length refers to the individual section.

When choosing when to travel, you can consider the farm offerings and a possible tour separately: fresh produce is specifically mentioned for summer, while flowers and lavender products may vary seasonally. Add a mill tour to your itinerary only once its availability for your date has been confirmed. Those more interested in local history will find two distinct historical points of interest at the church and the mill; those who prefer agricultural themes can focus on the produce and the farm description.
