Welcome to Richmond, NH. This is a historical site for the Richmond Tramp House, built 1914. This is an easy park n grab.
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.
