New Richmond House.....Yesterday

New Richmond house was built as a hotel in a once thriving lumber and railroad town. Situated on the Kalamazoo river, The New Richmond House enjoys an expansive view of the river and its winding course to the West.

New Richmond was first a lumber town then a railroad town. Later, it found success in the tourist industry in the late eighteen hundreds. It was the hub for train and steamer traffic to Douglas and Saugatuck with stagecoach service to Holland.

It was also the site of an early trading post before 1836, making New Richmond one of the oldest settlements in the area. The Old Allegan Road was a Native American trail and the river an important trade route.

New Richmond House Today....in the year 2007

The formerely forgotten town of New Richmond has suddenly become a hub of energetic activity in the past year. It's been reborn into a charming destination that's right near all of Southwest Michigan's favorite attractions.

The former New Richmond Hotel is now The New Richmond House. It was restored and updated as a weekly & weekend rental lodge in 1999. The Old Church to the North of the house is available for larger parties, receptions or other events. The old Post Office next door plans to be open this year as a gift shop and historic destination. as well as offering snacks and refreshments on its covered front walk.

The state-maintained boat launch provides easy access for small boats to Saugatuck and Lake Michigan ten miles to the west, and access to the State Game area and expansive marsh area upstream.

The river is designated as a wild river and marsh upstream for more than twelve miles.

We are very excited that the Historic New New Richmond Bridge is scheduled to be restored this year and the park areas are to be expanded on both sides of the river. The bridge is one of the last of its kind and is now beautifully restored to service for non vehicle traffic.

The New Richmond House is ready to welcome you for an enjoyable stay. We hope to hear from you soon!
