Abutting Springfield’s 735-acre Forest Park\, from which it gets its name\, the neighborhood features 600 homes that reflect the most popular styles from the 1890s to the 1920s. Forest Park Heights received its local historic district designation in 1975 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The neighborhood is touted for its proximity to Forest Park\, which features walking trails\, playing fields\, a zoo\, lakes\, ponds\, and more—and also hosts Bright Nights at Forest Park\, the northeast’s premier annual holiday lighting experience. \nPast historic homes tours have opened hundreds of homes\, showcased the wonderful neighborhoods of Springfield\, and even encouraged people to buy homes in the city. Previous tours have included homes in Colony Hills (2019)\, Atwater Park (2018)\, Maple Street (2017)\, and McKnight (2016). The tour was canceled in 2020\, 2021\, and 2022 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. \nTickets are $45 (tour+social)\, $35 (social-only)\, and $15 (tour-only) for SPT members\, and $55 (tour+social)\, $40 (social-only)\, and $20 (tour-only). All tour proceeds support the Springfield Preservation Trust’s mission of preserving and protecting properties in Springfield which have architectural\, historic\, educational\, or general cultural significance. \nThe Historic Homes Tour & Social are made possible by sponsors and ticket sales\, as well as by a grant from the Mass Cultural Council. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n70 Bellevue Avenue (Photo courtesy Springfield Preservation Trust / Jeff Morgan) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n83 Magnolia Terrace (Photo courtesy Springfield Preservation Trust / Derek Strahan) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n23 Washington Road (Photo courtesy Springfield Preservation Trust / Michelle Langan) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n68 Washington Road (Photo courtesy Springfield Preservation Trust / Michelle Langan) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n361 Sumner Avenue\, Trinity Church (Photo courtesy Springfield Preservation Trust / Michelle Langan) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4 Garfield Street\, Straitway to Heaven Church (Photo courtesy of Springfield Preservation Trust / Michelle Langan) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n73 Washington Road (Photo courtesy Springfield Preservation Trust / Michelle Langan)
