Step inside some of Springfield’s most beautiful homes and gardens during the Rountree Homes Tour, a self-guided celebration of one of the city’s most beloved historic neighborhoods.
Kick off Mother’s Day weekend at the Preservation Prelude on Friday, May 9th from 4–9 PM, featuring live music, vintage shopping, local makers, and timeless neighborhood charm.
