The Village of Richardson on the lower West Fork was once a booming and thriving Calhoun village, with stores, a mill, hotels, livery, barber shop, doctor's office and pharmacy, blacksmith and a number of houses.

Today it is a green meadow, with only memories of what it once was.

The photos reflect Richardson life shortly after 1900. The people in the photos are unknown.
