The Westcott House
Architecture and history buffs won't want to miss the opportunity to visit The Westcott House during their stay in Springfield. Designed by one of the most influential architects of the modern era, Frank Lloyd Wright, The Westcott House is an example of Wright’s innovative Prairie Style and was originally built as a residence for the Wescott family in 1908. Open Wednesday through Sunday, visitors, guided by a docent, can tour the main house, garage, pergola, and perennial gardens.
Hartman Rock Garden
Get outside and enjoy some fresh air with a visit to the unique Hartman Rock Garden. This in situ display of folk art was started way back in 1932 by Ben Hartman. Ben created his legacy by taking unusual materials, including hundreds of thousands of stones of various sizes, and building unique structures and figurines, woven together with a variety of plants. Now kept going through the effort of volunteers, the garden is open 365 days a year and is free to visit.
