Gilded East High Walking Tour

With the success of the Champion Reaper in the late 19th century, Springfield led the nation in the production of farm machinery. These industrialists’ vast and often newly-acquired wealth manifested in opulent Gilded Age mansions along East High Street. Tour with us through this open museum of architecture and enterprise and discover the rich histories of Governor Bushnell, famed publisher W.W. Norton, and more. Meet outside of 815 East High Street (at the corner of East High and South Sycamore Streets).

$15 General / $12 Members. Guided by Kevin Rose / Mobility 2.
