The Riley Lucas Bartholomew House is a historic house museum in Richfield, Minnesota, United States, originally the home of prominent early Minnesotan Riley Bartholomew (1807–1894).
[2] In 1852, when Fort Snelling was greatly reduced in size, the area that would become the city of Richfield became available for settlement.
He proceeded to build the two-story section of the home with local lumber, using white pine for the floors.
[2] Bartholomew, who earlier in life had risen to the rank of general in the Ohio militia, also joined a company of volunteers during the Dakota War of 1862.
[3] The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for local significance in military and politics/government for its association with Riley Bartholomew.
