It’s Impossible To Drive Through This Delightful Utah Town Without Stopping

The little town of Richfield is a little hub in south-central Utah. Located along I-70, and bordering the beautiful Fishlake National Forest, this quaint little town was founded in 1871. Fremont people inhabited the area as long as 7,000 years ago (many artifacts still remain in the area). Today, this vibrant, bustling town is a cultural center that provides shopping, entertainment and services to its 7,500 residents, and many neighboring communities. Have you visited Richfield lately?

As you approach Richfield on I-70, you can already see how charming it is. You should definitely drive through town for a closer look.
