The 17th Annual McKnight Block Party will take place on Saturday, May 31, from 12-5 pm. This event will take place at the Thompson Triangle, located at the corner of Worthington St and Saint James Ave. The Springfield Preservation Trust will be on hand with Historical Displays, Walking Tour brochures, information about the McKnight Historic House Tour on June 22, and a raffle to win free tickets. Atlas maps of McKnight from 1882 and 1899 will be on display, as well as pictures of McKnight Houses that have received preservation awards. This display is dependent on the weather. Trust Board members Jim Boone, Bob McCarroll, and Michael Stevens will be there to answer your questions and engage in discussions about our local history.
