Join local historian Derek Strahan on a walking tour of the Forest Park Heights Historic District neighborhood. The tour will focus on the homes on the southern side of Sumner Avenue, with an emphasis on the variety of architectural styles within the neighborhood. The tour will begin at 10:30 a.m. on Sept. 9  at the Florentine Gardens circle, and will last approximately 1.5 hours. The tour route is about 1.5 miles in length, on mostly level ground.

On-street parking is available on the neighborhood streets. Please be sure to not block driveways or fire hydrants.


The Second Saturday Walking Tour series is co-presented by the Springfield Preservation Trust and Springfield Museums and is sponsored by a grant from the Springfield Cultural Council and the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
