Founded in 1845 as an Americanist Lutheran College, Wittenberg has been a cornerstone of the Springfield community for over 180 years. It is also home to some of Springfield’s best buildings, including Myers Hall, Recitation Hall, and Zimmerman Library. Join us as we explore this institution’s remarkable history and distinctive architecture while meandering through acres of rolling, wooded landscape. Meet at the corner of West Ward Street and North Wittenberg Avenue (near 644 N. Wittenberg Avenue).
