After a Free Will Baptist Church was organized in Richwood n the 1840's, a rough cast meeting house was built in 1850, in the front part of the Richwood Cemetery. For many years, this was a free burial ground. Has been expanded to include the former School property. Owned by the municilpality and is considered to be an active cemetery according to By-law 971-93. A plaque was erected here in 1998 by descendents of the Kennedy family.
