SUMMARY:Business After Hours - Richfield Historical Society
DESCRIPTION:This event is for chamber members\, their guests and colleagues to network and socialize with other members of the business community. \n\n\n\nRemember to bring Business Cards to share with others. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Richfield Historical Society operates the house as the Bartholomew House Museum adjacent to their Richfield History Center. \n\nIn 1852\, when Fort Snelling was greatly reduced in size\, the area that would become the city of Richfield became available for settlement. Bartholomew came to the area and filed a claim on the shores of Wood Lake. He proceeded to build the two-story section of the home with local lumber\, using white pine for the floors. His wife\, Fanny\, and two children joined him in the spring of 1853. Soon after the construction of the house\, two additions were added by moving two single story dwellings from near Minnehaha Falls and adding them on to the house. Bartholomew went on to become influential in local politics as a member of the Republican Constitutional Convention which framed the Minnesota Constitution in 1857. He also represented District Four in the Minnesota Senate.[2] Bartholomew\, who earlier in life had risen to the rank of general in the Ohio militia\, also joined a company of volunteers during the Dakota War of 1862.[3]\n\nThe house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for local significance in military and politics/government for its association with Riley Bartholomew.
