SUMMARY:Maple-High and Six Corners Second Saturday Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the legacy\, architecture\, and neighborhood that surrounds one of Springfield’s most important historical business figures—Daniel B. Wesson\, of Smith & Wesson fame.\n\nOn this walking tour\, Preservation Trust Board Member Katherine Anderson Benson will provide a history of the Wesson Hospitals\, the C.W. Porter School\, and the beautiful homes that line the streets of the Six Corners neighborhood\, where these structures reside. The walking tour departs from the rear of the High School of Commerce (Springfield Honors Academy entrance) and ends at the same.\n\nThe Six Corners neighborhood of Springfield once encompassed two of the city’s premier medical facilities—Wesson Memorial Hospital and the Wesson Maternity Hospital—founded by Daniel B. Wesson\, also the co-founder of Springfield-based firearm manufacturer Smith & Wesson. Surrounded by beautiful homes\, the neighborhood was also once home to Miss Charlotte Porter’s School\, a preeminent private school for girls.\n\nThe 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.
