Cleveland State University archaeologist Dr. Phil Wanyerka will present “CSU’s Archaeological Investigations at Richfield Heritage Preserve”.

The Friends will provide an update on their plans for 2026 as well as their historic structure restoration and stabilization efforts. Refreshments will be offered.

Kirby Day 2025 was not held due to RJRD delaying permission. Winter Wonders 2025 was not approved by the RJRD. Kirby Day is returning in 2026, but the Friends' fundraisers -- including Winter Wonders 2026 -- have not been approved by the park administration to date.
