Our photos of
THE RICHARDSON SESQUICENTENNIAL CELEBRATION

Saturday, June 24, 2023 was a great day for Richardson. On the exact same spot where the Houston & Texas Central Railroad built a depot in 1873, the citizens and city officials of Richardson made history themselves by gathering to celebrate and commemorate that long ago event, the 150th anniversary of the founding of our city. Here for your enjoyment are some photos and video of the celebration!
