Gilded East High Walking Tour

With the success of the Champion Reaper, Springfield led the nation in the production of farm machinery in the 1870s and 1880s. 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 Asa S. Bushnell, industrialist John Foos, famed publisher W.W. Norton, and more. Meet in front of the Women’s Town Club at 805 East High Street.
