                  Richland
   On this corner, in a long building, was Richland’s first post office 
and a shoe shop. John Audulph, son of Henry Audulph, first settler, was 
appointed postmaster of Chisholm, Apr.16, 1839. Six months later, Nov. 26, 
1839 Chisholm became Richland, named for the nearby Baptist Church, and 
John Audulph continued as postmaster. Across the street, Henry Audulph 
had built a two-story log house. Later owned by the Richard J. Snelling family, 
it was used as an inn at this stagecoach crossroads. The present 
city park was enclosed by a high fence and used by the Audulphs as a 
corral for oxen, cattle and deer. A general store was on the NE corner 
from 1830 to 1956.
