The Progressive Era ushered in a new generation of leaders and entrepreneurs, whose spirit of innovation and civic responsibility contributed to Springfield’s growth and prestige. Join us as we stroll past their grand East High Street homes, including the Westcott House and Crowell Mansion, which stand today as a tangible reminder of Springfield’s prosperity at the start of the twentieth century. Meet outside the Westcott House Museum Store, 85 South Greenmount Avenue.
Join the Westcott Center for Architecture + Design as we celebrate our region’s distinctive architecture and history with our annual Summer Tour Series.

Historians, curators, artists, designers, and other local professionals guide each tour. The 2025 series includes Walking Tours, Happy Hour Tours, Family Tours, Members Only Tours, and Virtual Tours.
