Front Porches of Richfield Ohio

Great Porches Come In Small Towns!

Richfield Ohio was founded in 1809 by Lancelot Mayes. It is believed the community's name came from a weed that grew rich in their fields. No matter its origin, this quaint community is host to some of Ohio's most beautiful porches.

Dave and I traveled to Richfield to visit our niece and got to spend some quality time walking the streets to find front porch ideas for you. We were pleasantly surprised at the many styles and exquisite homes our trip afforded us.

We used their new library as our office away from home, sorting through our day's work of photographing porches. It's a tough job! Hope you enjoy our front porch pictures of their great porches.

Richfield Ohio is a village located in Summit County, Ohio. With a population of approximately 3,286, Richfield lies approximately halfway between Akron and Cleveland. It was historically an agricultural center but now, like most communities is also commercial.

Of historical note, four of John Brown's children are buried in Richfield's Eastview Cemetery. John Brown was a noted abolitionist. His children, Austin, Charles, Peter and Sarah, all died in 1843 due to a smallpox epidemic.

If you are traveling through northern Ohio sometime, be sure to stop off in Richfield and enjoy some great porch views!
