About Historic New Richmond . . .
The beauty of the countryside, the natural river setting, and one of the richest school districts in southwestern Ohio have turned this old river town (founded in 1814) into one of Cincinnati's newest suburban attractions. In the early and mid 1800's the abolitionist movement was a hot topic for debate with the ending result of New Richmond becoming one of several Ohio Valley villages offering many escaping slaves, headed north, a refuge on their perilous journey. You may view many of those historic buildings when you come on a day trip to see the lovely village.
Development has been carefully planned to maintain the historical community's rich, rural flavor. However, the area is growing so rapidly that homes of progressive styles and designs can be found just about everywhere. New Richmond appeals to both industry and business, as well as to new homeowners. Those who take pride in growing as the community grows have an opportunity to mold a bright future here.
Transportation is fast and all four lane driving!
Driving time to downtown to many of Cincinnati's major attractions is only 30 minutes over a very scenic route along the Ohio River. An interchange for I-275 is a few miles west of the village. This makes any spot in Hamilton County and northern Kentucky about a 35 minute drive. Belterra Gaming Park and Old Coney Island are only a 12 minute drive away!!!
Hospitals
Clermont Mercy in Batavia and Mercy Anderson are a 20 minute drive. Both offer emergency medical care. The village also has its own life squad. Cincinnati's hospital complex is 40 minutes average driving time.
Shopping
Quaint shops and restaurants line Front Street where independent merchants conduct their trade in a semi-rural atmosphere along Front Street overlooking the beautiful Ohio River. The Green Kayak and Front Street Cafe being two of the most outstanding.

Antique stores continue to be added to the village, with the newest being 310 Washington Hall, joining the charming River Village Antiques on Walnut Street (In the historic old church) and Lilly's Antiques On Front Street.
