Rich Hill is a small town in Bates County, Missouri, known as the "Town That Coal Built." Since 2008, this blog has been digging through old newspapers, county histories, family photos, and community memories to piece together the stories of the people, businesses, churches, and events that shaped Rich Hill — from its coal-mining boom years to the present day.
Here you'll find everything from town-defining moments (train depot ambushes, natural gas jubilees, the founding of local churches) to the quieter stories of the people who called Rich Hill home — including a few who went on to leave their mark on the wider world.
Have an old photo, a family story, or a correction? I'd love to hear from you — reach out at beardonme@gmail.com

Rich Hill City Hall Then and Now
The First picture is Rich Hill City Hall in the early 1900's. The Second Picture is Rich Hill City Hall in 2008. I am looking for documentation as to when City Hall was built and when the upper story was taken off.
