Tramp House - (photo courtesy of Darlene Frances.) This one room dwelling housed many “tramps” who passed through town during the first half of the 20th century. Severe economic conditions and high unemployment caused hundreds of thousands of people to take to the roads and railroads seeking work, handouts, food and shelter. Many towns built simple one room hostels where these vagrants were given a free meal and a bed before being urged to move on. The Richmond Tramp House, one of only a few remaining in the State of New Hampshire, serves as a mini museum recalling a significant era in Richmond's history and culture.
Middletown Cemetery is located on Old Homestead Hwy (Rte 32N) next to the Richmond Town Hall. It is one of the town’s oldest burial grounds, likely dating to the late 1700s or early 1800s. It began as a small, local cemetery serving families in the Middletown district and gradually became a central community burial site. Over time, it has held generations of early Richmond families and likely includes graves of veterans from early American wars. Today, it is town-owned and maintained, still in use but with limited space.
