A Walk Through Richland
Richland is a town that changed the course of history forever. As you explore the buildings of downtown Richland, you will see how the town of Richland grew from a small, dusty farming community of 250 residents founded in 1905, to a secret city of 15,000 during WWII producing plutonium for the Atomic Bomb, producing even more during the Cold War. Explore the history of this town with a local guide and experience the key points where Richland developed into a war time town under the utmost secrecy, an impressive feat to turn a dusty rural desert into a fully functional city in under a year. Your guide will take you through the idyllic central Parkway shopping district and point out the locations deemed essential to support a city of 15,000 and what they have developed into today.
