The Westcott House, a prairie-style home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, has been restored and transformed into a museum. The architect's emphasis on integrating nature into the living space is evident in the design, with windows strategically placed to offer views of the surrounding park. The house features a reflecting pool and showcases Wright's favorite color, Cherokee Red, on its brick patio and fabric awning. Visitors can explore the history of the house and its former occupants through informative tours led by knowledgeable guides.
We had a friend come into town for the week and used that opportunity to go see this wonderful house. It starts off with a little movie, and a tour director takes you around the home. The director was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the history and restoration of the house. The architecture of this home is neat to see and experience the genius of the design. He used sunlight to his advantage to bring light into rooms in a spiceal way. The wood working on the built-in cabinets is amazing, and the layout is very clever. Taking into consideration the age, there is no accommodation for wheelchairs. I highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in homes of this style. Our tour took about an hour and a half and was well worth the price. I am now wanting to travel to other similar homes in Ohio to continue to see this master's work.

Well restored Frank Lloyd Wright work. Reasonably priced 1.5 hour tours of the building are available almost every day at multiple times. Gift shop and parking available. Would recommend as a day trip. We had a great time and learned a lot about the house, the family, and the architect.
Emma C — Google review
Fascinating Frank Lloyd Wright house. Tours are scheduled, so buy tickets online and in advance. 90 minute tour is interesting whether you are a Wright expert or this is your first tour. Plenty of details and information about him and the house. The tour is required to see inside the house. Definitely worth the price of admission.
Brad W — Google review
Incredible tour with a super knowledgeable guide. Our guide packed so much information into our 90 minute tour-it was amazing. She gave us a history of the home and really shined a spotlight on the amazing restoration work that had been done. Would highly recommend for anyone with even a passing interest in architecture or design.
Cara T — Google review
We loved it! The tour guide made the whole visit. He clearly knew a lot about the house and FLW. You can tell he really loves sharing this with people and that really made it special. The house is beautiful and lovingly restored. You really get the feel that FLW was going for in this house. The gift shop is full of all sorts of fun things. I definitely want to go back for Christmas presents! This is not handicap accessible. There are multiple sets of stairs and no elevator.

Hidden gem in a diamond in the rough city. Springfield has such a rich architectural and cultural legacy, and it shines still despite economic downturns and negative news coverage. Don’t sleep on the Westcott House! It is a magnificent experience from start to end. Our tour guide was dynamic and super knowledgeable, and kept the entire tour engaging with captivating details.
Jennifer H — Google review
Was not our first FLW tour … won’t be our last either. The docent spent over an hour and a half with our small group of 5. Very in depth tour and fascinating to hear about all the efforts (and successes) that went into renovations. Sort of a must do if you’re a fan of his style.

Hartman Rock Garden is a restored folk-art garden created between 1932 and 1944, featuring over 250,000 stones. The garden's creator, Ben Hartman, began crafting cement objects by hand after being laid off from his job during the Great Depression. Despite its small scale, the garden is filled with intricate stone sculptures that reflect years of dedication and hard work. Visitors can enjoy the charming details and may even encounter a friendly cat on the premises.
What an amazing treasure! We happened to stumble across a post on Google for this beautiful place and knew we needed to see it and man we are sure happy we did. There is such a sweet incredible history and the time and care that was put into every precious item is incredible. I am so happy that we were able to experience getting to see this garden!

Nature & Parks
Buck Creek State Park in Springfield, Ohio offers a variety of outdoor activities for visitors. The park features rolling hills with hiking and bridle trails, as well as a large reservoir for boating and fishing. There are camping facilities and family vacation cabins available for those looking to stay longer. The park is known for its family-friendly atmosphere and abundant wildlife, including deer and turtles. Visitors can enjoy amenities such as playgrounds, beaches, picnic areas, disc golf courses, and an archery range.
Our group rented 2 cabins back in Oct. They were clean and very inexpensive. You can grill right outside the cabin. There were people in near by cabins but we almost couldn’t hear them. There are many little hiking trails that you can take. Highly recommended.

We stayed at the group campground. It has a bathroom for men and women. It does not have showers or an electrical receptacle inside the building. It has several fire rings and picnic tables, a paved parking lot with multiple places to park. The marina is down the road. Signs for the park are not well established. However, each entrance is down in back. The campground side of the park has multiple side road loops and offshoots down to the water, archery, marina, beach or disc golf areas. The Buck Creek trail is closed 2 miles from the head of the trail. The is a bridge is out. Also, at the bottom of the dam it is quite smelly from the effluent being released. We would definitely do another stay. It was an enjoyable place with lots of activities over the first weekend of October for Halloween.
R C — Google review
Good state park overall. Didn't have much for us, we were missing that campground vibe, as the campground is fairly spread out and not walkable from cabins. We were also bummed that the camp store was "closed for the season"- we love getting ice cream and having the ability to grab last minute items. However, this park was standard and up to par for Ohio state parks- clean and well maintained!

Shopping
The Heart of Ohio Antique Center is a massive 116,000 square feet space with over 650 dealers, making it nearly impossible to see everything in just one day. Conveniently located off Interstate 70 and open 362 days a year from 9:30am-6pm, it's easily accessible for antique enthusiasts. Visitors rave about the center's vast selection of items, describing it as one of the largest they've ever seen.
This place has some of everything you could think of, and some I never imagined! It is clean and orderly! It is secure and a great place for classic jewelry! I also had a great experience speaking and being educated about the National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors! The Time Pieces were beautiful and well preserved. A great outing for shopping for unique pieces as well.
Lisa A — Google review
Probably the best Vendors/Peddlers and antique mall we’ve ever been to (and that’s saying something). The atmosphere was great, the employees were great and the selection was amazing. You’re Sure to find some cool pieces here, just don’t expect the prices to be great. Comparing the prices to eBay I found most were higher in the booths but you do get the item here and now, plus you’re supporting a small business. It took us exactly 3 hours to casually walk through, see everything and check out. This place was Definitely worth the drive. 😊👍🏻

Always a blast to go here. 3 major sections and a good spot to grab some food. They have everything from the collectible to eclectic to foreign and even taboo! Last time I spent 3 hours there and did not get to the middle section before they closed! Super nice and casually organized - a great place to relax or take somebody to brain dump on.

Stopped here on the way home to Indiana and absolutely loved it. Didn't even know it existed till now. Walked in and was welcomed by the staff who explained the process and gave us a map. I was only able to spend 2 hours here but could easily spend a weekend here with how large this complex was. The staff was very funny and friendly and helped me with any questions or concerns I had. I will definitely be making a trip back here.

We stopped on a whim going home to Illinois from our vaca in Ohio. First impression was huge! We only got through 2/3rds of the building definitely can takes hours to go through everything. As people have mentioned prices are on the "it's not going anywhere for a long time" side. But if you take the time you'll find something.

The Heritage Center of Clark County, housed in the historic City Building & Market from 1890, offers a comprehensive look into the history of America's Heartland. The museum spans an entire city block and features a variety of exhibits across two floors, including four large rooms and one smaller room. Visitors can expect friendly and knowledgeable staff who are eager to share captivating stories about Springfield's rich heritage.
We had so much fun! We first visited during their Harry Potter Ball and can't wait to bring the kids back to see the regular museum. Harry Potter event: Ball room dancing lessons, good food, fun games, trivia, dance party, a fire show, and so much more!

What better way to spend an unseasonably chilly Autumn Holiday, than an afternoon spent perusing the collection of one of the few local Historical Societies in the surrounding area that I haven't already checked. The collection at Clark County - located within Springfield proper is quite impressive, especially considering when compared with Lucas County(Toledo) they have literally a quarter of the population. Toledo's collection is barely enough to fill up two rooms, whereas Clark County's is considerable. I especially enjoyed learning about the origin of the Chakeres Theater company, their subsequent 90 location expansion - but alas, was a little disappointed when it was sold off to United Entertainment Corp. around 2018. Still, this museum has a very impressive collection of local and regional artifacts and does a pretty good job of narrating specific eras in the history of Clark County and Springfield itself. It's definitely an organization worth supporting and museum worth visiting, especially if you, like many Ohioans only have negative associations with Springfield, due to certain individuals spreading mis-truths in the press.

Outstanding museum. What a great gem located in the heart of Springfield. From the time we walked in till the time we left, the museum volunteers / docents, were very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. I haven't lived in this state for over 30 years, and did not realize all of the history and manufacturing that happened right here in Springfield. Makes me now want to visit George Roger Clark Park, sites on the National Trail, and do additional research on Westcott automobiles and Kelly-Springfield trucks. Thanks for a enjoyable visit.
Eric — Google review
The Heritage Center of Clark County is an awesome local history museum. They have the whole history of the National road and exhibits about 4-h on the first floor and military history, Native American, and some manufacturing exhibits on the second floor. There is a unique dedication plaque to a volunteer in the bathroom that I think might be a one of a kind exhibit.

For just $5 this is a very affordable place to go have some fun. It’s surprisingly smaller than I expected, but still plenty to see with a nice sculpture garden, a Vietnam memorial outside, and a river walk. This is a beautiful museum and quite relaxing. There is no cafe/food available here.

Small museum you can knock out in an hour or so or get lost in the art- which would be easy to do. Beautiful and thought provoking pieces. One not pictured was “The River of Tigris” it was striking and weeks later sticks out as educational and emotional. The young lady at front was incredibly kind and receptive to any questions we had.

Brewery
Food & Drink
Mother Stewart's Brewing is situated in a historic warehouse in downtown Springfield and offers an outdoor beer garden with live music. The brewery hosts various events such as music festivals, film screenings, food trucks, and an indoor farmers market during winter. The ambiance is great with ample indoor and outdoor seating options. While it may not be dog-friendly, the outside seating area might be an option for furry friends.
This is a great brewery with an incredible outdoor atmosphere/space. Their beer is good, and they also have ciders, wine, and cocktails for those who might not want beer or who might not be able to drink beer due to a gluten intolerance. One of my favorite offerings they had was the Tropical Mango cider from Blake’s Hard Cider Company. It was delicious! I also enjoyed their beer called “Kill Kenny”, which is one I’d recommend if you like Red Irish Ales. I highly recommend visiting this brewery. I will say parking can be difficult, so give yourself a little planning time to find parking beforehand.
Heather H — Google review
Beer is decent, building is open and beautiful. Loved the huge outdoor patio and outdoor seating in the front. For the size of the building, I wish they had more taps and beers to choose from. No food on site but do have food trucks and allow you to bring food in
T. H — Google review
Great location/venue but the beer is mediocre at best. I'll never understand why they brew the same 6-8 beers with no rotating or special releases. Thankfully they've started serving beers from other, better local breweries alongside their own. They should focus more on that direction since they refuse to brew anything new themselves.

Great brewery! Overall the beer was good and the atmosphere was great. The vibe inside the brewery was perfect. There is a ton of clean space to sit and hang out while you enjoy a beer or food from one of the food trucks. The tables and seating are solid. The outdoor area is really impressive and beautiful. I would love to return on a warmer day to enjoy the outdoor space. Really Great place to visit!

I visited Mother Stewart's on the 2025 Dayton Ale Trail. This brewery is housed in a former coffin manufacturing warehouse which sound strange but this is actually a really cool venue. The beer is fantastic, try the Disco Dancer if you like IPAs. Also the staff are super friendly, and the whole place has a really cool vibe. Could definitely use some AC, but still worth the visit.

Mad River Gorge & Nature Preserve is a relatively short distance from the parking lot to the trailhead, where you can find a map board and additional park information. The trail leads down uneven stone steps to a fork, offering flat and level paths with scenic views of the Rocky gorge and the river. It's recommended for quick getaways, dog walking, and rock climbing opportunities. However, visitors are advised to bring a trash bag due to litter in the area.
Mad River Gorge is a great place to get outside and enjoy nature there are trails for hiking and plenty of good spots for rock climbing by the water it makes for strong exercise and there are grassy areas to sit and have a picnic with friends or family making it both active and relaxing.

Very nice quick get away. Places to get to the river. Nice place to walk the dogs, but if distance is what you’re looking for this is not it. I recommend bringing a trash bag. The amount of trash laying around was staggering. There are glass buckets there to use and bring back up from the river. Oh yeah! If you’re a climber there is a bunch of spots to scale up the rock faces.
Gregory F — Google review
It’s upsetting how people don’t respect the park. There are glass buckets laying in the middle of trails, by the river, at the end of the trails and there is still glass and trash everywhere. Great place to go rock climbing however if you bring a pet I recommend staying on the top loop to avoid the risk of a paw being cut open.
Brooke H — Google review
It’s an ok place off the beaten path to enjoy a little walk. Lots of trash, lots of buckets around full of trash, I saw blankets, and cans and more buckets all along trails. The rock formations are massive and pretty neat to see up close. Lots of steps. I came on a day after rain so was muddy down by the river area. Nice place to maybe have a lunch at the picnic tables over on the field. Wouldn’t go out of my way to come back myself , but it’s an ok place if u want a quick walk in nature. Place needs cleaned up and maintained better.
Angela W — Google review
There is a nice series of trails, with the river trail being the best. This clearly a rock climbing area, which is one of if the the main draw to this preserve. There's lots of wildlife, especially birds that can be seen here. There was a lot of trash/beer bottles at the first picnic bench, but this was over Memorial day weekend, so that could have been worse than usual.

Newer hiking area I tried out this morning. The trails are nice for the most part and moderate difficulty depending on the path you take. There is also rock climbing in the gorge. Overall it is a nice place to hike. Restroom and picnic tables at parking lot. Dog friendly. Highly recommend.

My husband and I enjoyed it! The trails aren’t super long but there was enough to keep us entertained for about an hour and a half. I enjoyed walking on the trail that went next to the river and climbing up a big rock named ‘Treasure Island.’ Port-a-potty available at the parking lot, though it had a hornets nest in it when we went.

Interesting little store. Happy to see this in my hometown. Perky, very perky manager, sales person. Quick to answer questions. Selection changes often. Unique and creative clothes and stuff. I bought 2 goodies and one t-shirt. Prices not bad. Parking is tight. Store is very visible, you can blow right by the tiny parking lot, so slowly. I'll be back when I'm home again. Nice. HAS SINCE MOVED MORE DOWNTOWN. JUST REOPENED.

Cute lil shop. Has some very unique Ohio gear such as t-shirts, stickers, mugs, and posters. I give it 4 stars because the prices are kind of hard to find and also, the staff seemed to kind of ignore us a lil bit.

Krazy Taco 937 is a convenient spot for satisfying your taco cravings with its easy online ordering and quick delivery service. The tex-mex menu, curated by owner Felix Guerra, offers a variety of delicious taco options at affordable prices, including daily specials. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make it a great place to enjoy flavorful dishes like the Hex wrap and Brisket Nachos while sipping on amazing cocktails.
I’m from California and definitely have a variety of different tacos my whole life I moved to Ohio and had some tacos out here too, but as soon as I tried, crazy tacos, the atmosphere and the inviting experience it was amazing. I absolutely 100% recommend you try it. It’s small but I love it because it’s very intimate. Staff is super kind. I accidentally ordered the wrong taco and instead of charging me or getting upset they asked me which one i wanted ended up giving me the one cause they were gonna throw it away plus they made me the one that I wanted . They were so kind , this will be a lifetime place that I’ll be going to with my husband and anyone that comes to visit this will for sure be one of the place I will take them to.

Our friends brought us to this place. This hidden gem was definitely worth the drive. Wow!!! The food was AMAZING!!! We sat on the patio with our pooch. They brought her a bowl of water; with ICE!!! The owner (an owner?) was there and was very attentive. It seems like the food is always better when the owner takes an active role in the restaurant. It’s a fun atmosphere and a cool place to spend the afternoon.

Wife and I went to Krazy Taco 937 tonight with already high hopes because of its great online reviews. To say we were not disappointed is an understatement; we were stunned at how enjoyable the experience was. Everything.. EVERYTHING about this place is wonderful. Service was very attentive, friendly and helpful (and our waitress had only been working there 1 month.) The overall ambiance was stimulating and captivating. Stimulating because the music Powerhouse 60s hits from Ray Charles, Tom Jones, the Beatles and more was a *perfect* choice to enjoy yet not disrupt quiet conversation. Stimulating because the decor was so unique and interesting. And because just the vibe of everyone in there really enjoying themselves was palpable. What about the food you say? Every ingredient of the 4 different taco choices we made was wonderful; fresh, tasty and well prepared and presented. It's not very close to us but we are already excitedly figuring out when we can get back there - and I'm confident we are going to become regulars. It's a small place so going at peak meal hours might risk waiting. They have about 10 tables as well as another 8 or 10 stools at the bar. We did not drink so cannot review that aspect. We were told the place had come under new management in the last few months. As well as that place seemed to be functioning, we would never have guessed that. PS I didn't know until we ordered that they were giving free tacos to veterans, so that's a really cool mark on their patriotism and sense of community. PS 2 Small warning: The bench seats at the east (entrance) wall cut off circulation in my legs.

The tacos were delicious! My husband had the beef blaze tacos, and I had the smashburger taco. I loved the variety of food they offer at reasonable prices. The queso was okay, and the tortilla chips were nothing special, tasted fresh out of a bag from Costco. The guacamole was really good. The blueberry margarita was amazing! We will definitely be back when we are in town!

It’s good, but not watermelon.

I do research. I looked for some Mexican food that would not be the same old slop that always gets called Mexican food. This place is tasty, flavor forward and so quaint you would drive by it and never know. It's an absolute gem and a must have. Everything but the bbq sauce and franks red hot is made in the kitchen and it shows. Even the coconut creme in the margaritas was made in house. This is it, go here.

Snyder Park is a fantastic city park with a lot to offer. It features the scenic Buck Creek flowing through it, complete with low head dams and picturesque bridges. The park also boasts frisbee golf, shelter houses, and stunning views. Families can enjoy the playgrounds and splash pad while nature enthusiasts can appreciate the ponds and wildlife. Despite some minor complaints about cleanliness and facilities, Snyder Park remains a popular destination for families and individuals seeking outdoor enjoyment.
We had an amazing day at Snyder Park! The courts were perfect for our pickleball event with CrossCountry Mortgage, bringing together local REALTORS® from the Springfield Board of Realtors. The atmosphere was fun, relaxed, and a great reminder of the strong community we have here in Springfield, Ohio. Huge thanks to everyone who joined us and to Snyder Park for providing such a great space. Events like this remind us why we love calling this area home. — Amanda Mullins, The Mullins Group | eXp Realty

A nice little splash pad near a pavilion and playground so kids can go between the two activities. Parents can sit in the shade and they have a few shade awnings at the playground as well. There are bathrooms right nearby. There are two parking lots so plenty of parking as this is part of a bigger park system. Pickleball and tennis courts are beside this as well.

Charles M — Google review
these are my first reactions to the house... I, a history lover, enjoyed it. I thought it was kind of expensive. The stuff in the house is not necessarily from the house originally. The Daughters of the American Revolution have contributed a lot to the house. It's a long two hour tour. Lots and lots of artifacts to look at. An entire room devoted to buttons from all over the world. They have a big doll collection. My (fairly intellectual) kids thought it was neat. It's kind of like going to a historical society that has a lot of artifacts. Also, there is a neat George Washington relationship to some artifacts in the house. Overall, even if you just like to look at antiques, I would recommend going. You also get to go inside all the rooms instead of looking at them from behind a rope. No photography

We called before we left home to check on hours which were 1 - 3 pm on Saturday. Upon arriving could not rouse anyone, see any cars, and door was locked. We were disappointed. If the place is to be closed maybe a message on the phone quoting the information might be a good idea. We will probably not go back unless could know will be open.

It offers visitors the opportunity to explore its grounds during regular visitation hours, providing a unique blend of history, nature, and tranquility. The arboretum showcases over 50 tree species for guests to admire and learn about. The cemetery features beautiful mausoleums, statues, historical plaques, and peaceful surroundings.
Ferncliff is absolutely beautiful year-round. From giant mausoleums to artfully placed waterworks, Ferncliff is a great place to walk or drive through. Another great thing about Ferncliff is the wrought iron fence on the curve of SR 41. People are constantly crashing into that section of fence.

This is a beautiful cemetery. It's the reason we picked it. But it's rediculous that ppl come there for photo shots of proms and such and don't follow the rules. Parking all over the place blocking roads with their vehicles and expect ppl to back up and one actually told me to wait until a photo was taken before they let me pass. I was there visiting a few grave sites of family members. I couldn't find the security guard. This should not be happening.

Wonderful place to take the kids! I felt like my son was safe the entire time and I could just relax off to the side. Lots of lifeguards and they kept everything very much under control! We went on a very hot and busy day with lots of people. The only reason why I didn’t give it five starts is because I wish they found a better way to service people at the concession stand. We stood there for easily 40 min to order and then receive our food. They were all nice but it took way too long. Overall my son had a blast and we spent almost five hours here! I highly recommend this place for some summer fun!

This is pretty nice little water complex and fairly priced. They have an excessive number of regulations about who should be doing what, and at what times. I understand rules designed to keep people safe in the pool, but the "kids out, adults in, okay, kids back in again, floats out, okay now floats back in" cycle gets to be a lot. Kicking kids out for 5 minutes, just for them to return as soon as they're out doesn't do anything for adults. If you want to have an adult swim day or adult swim time, just schedule it when kids aren't present.

Great pool, had to lose a star though because of overcrowding. They need to lower the max capacity significantly. That said make sure you go early as it normally gets packed around 4-5. Dont love the chair rental but I'm not here to sunbathe and I'm old enough to remember when they never offered chairs anywhere so im not too bothered. Snack bar has lackluster options but they are great about letting you out to eat.

The overall fair was great. The rodeo was a rip off. There was an older gentleman that went through the 8 dollar entrance. There are signs everywhere 8 dollars per person “No refunds”. He wanted a refund. There must have been 13 police around him. I thought dude learn to read. Then we, my wife, grand daughter, and I, paid and went in. He was right! From where you sit it is far away from the event and obstructed by the fence. It wouldn’t keep any kid’s attention. There sign should say distant obstructed view. We did not stay. That was a rip off and that poor man was only trying to get what he paid for. We were supposed to be joined by our other family members and quickly called them and sent pictures. They obviously chose to miss the rodeo. As we walked out, we showed people in line the view they don’t tell you about and let people with kids know that they were being ripped off. That was awful and I felt bad for all of the eyes and thoughts that went out towards that poor man. The people who run the Clark county fair should be ashamed.

We've been going here since childhood. Even last year seemed really great products but these last couple months we got several cakes from here and the cakes have been super dry. The icing just falls off even with being in a cold controlled house with little heat exposure. I don't know if they changed recipes or if its who is now incharge of doing cakes but we will most likely go elsewhere. We got a birthday cake which we ordered early and it seemed like the decorate went as simple as possible and called it a day. I hope this changes soon for others sake!

I am originally from Springfield. I now live in Cincinnati. I come to Springfield frequently. My husband brought home some date bars and oatmeal cookies two days ago. The date bars and oatmeal cookies were probably a third, if that, the thickness they use to be. I realize costs are rising, but I would prefer to pay extra for you to make the cookies the way that you use to, than to get cookies, that are basically tasteless and simply sugar. Please go back to your old recipes. Your product was awesome, was being the key word.

NTPRD Chiller is a valuable addition to the Southwest Ohio area, providing a clean facility with friendly staff and three well-maintained rinks. It offers opportunities for learning to skate, playing hockey, and even joining a hockey team. The venue hosts exciting hockey games, including those featuring the Dayton Fire team. Free skate sessions are available at affordable prices, making it an ideal spot for a fun outing. The facility also features a concession stand and ample seating.
Both of my sons play hockey. My oldest skates at least twice a week. So, I can speak from experience when I say that it's really difficult to find a good rink in Southwest Ohio. It's difficult to overstate the value that the Chiller brings to Springfield and Dayton. There are three rinks in the Dayton Metro area, if you consider Troy a part of it. Two of those rinks are closed at least four months of the year. The other is not a fun place to play. In addition to some other, smaller but important cities, the Chiller is within reasonable driving distance of Dayton (I could make the trip every day) and Columbus. It's also extremely well-managed by friendly, understanding, and responsive staff. This is evidenced by the clean and well-maintained facilities - something that's rarer than most might realize - and the extensive, meticulously developed programming, which includes lessons/practice on several concepts within both hockey and skating. Moreover, we've only been here for the past five weekends, and I can absolutely list more than that number of pleasant, productive interactions I've had with employees. I hope Ohio Health, NTPRD, and CBJ keep doing what they're doing here.

It holds significant historical importance not only for Springfield but also for the nation. The annual Juneteenth Celebration, which is expanding every year, is a vital event for the community. Many people were surprised to discover this hidden gem and are grateful that it was saved from obscurity. Although advanced reservations may be necessary, visitors can still appreciate its historical significance from the exterior.
Thank you to all of those that took on the thankless task of restoring this invaluable treasure. This building is not only important to Springfield but the history of our nation. The annual Juneteenth Celebration is important to our community and is expanding every year. Thank you Gammon House and all of its affiliates!

Winans Coffee & Chocolate is a popular spot known for its wide range of delicious coffee and chocolate flavors. Their coffee selection includes unique flavors like Blackberry Bourbon, Peppermint Bark, and Highlander Grogg, while their chocolate varieties feature Sea Salt Caramel, Pecan Bark, Cashew Wurtle, and Coconut Almond Bliss. Customers love the consistent quality of the coffee and the inviting atmosphere at this location. However, some have experienced issues with flimsy drink carriers.
I really enjoyed this coffee spot as I traveled through town from Philly. I always look for local artisan coffee shops with a quality coffee menu. I was able to get a proper macchiato here. Some seasonal syrup flavors would be a great addition! Maybe I missed it. It’s got a cute vibe. They also sell chocolates, loose dry coffee, cards, etc. I loved the card selection and grabbed a couple. Someone else said the staff wasn’t warm or engaging. What I noticed is they’re young. I interacted with them and found them to be warm and engaging, as well as professional. They wanted to do it well the first time. I really enjoyed my interaction with the staff.

I want Springfield to succeed , I really do, and it needs a coffee house, but this just was not a good experience. Workers, have some facility with people! Interact! Smile! You are there to serve. It's dreadful; going there ; there is more warmth in a morgue. Also, I want to love your coffee, but it just leaves me cold. Just not doing it for me. You have to hustle and want to be there to make this place work.

Stopped in for coffee in the morning to go with a delicious croissant I got at the bakery just down the block. I ordered a latte with skim milk. It was nice and hot and prepared very quickly by the staff. The staff was friendly and greeted me when I entered. The coffee was very smooth with no bitter taste. It was hard to tell this was made with skim milk. I was very satisfied with my purchase.

Going into Winans is self care for me. The delicious smell of coffee, the carefully crafted aesthetic, surrounded by chocolates….what could be better?

Lovely spot for chocolate and coffee, friendly vibe where you can also pick up beans and chocolate covered pretzels and other treats. Good selection of iced and espresso drinks; I tried the matcha lemonade fruit crusher and it hit the spot. Yummy buckeyes, smooth and satisfying interior, and “quiet room” upstairs for co-working. Really cute shelves and decor full of “The Office” stuff, like a Dundy, Dwight Schrute bobblehead, and “World’s Best Boss” mug. Office fans grab a cup here!

This massive event offers a wide variety of treasures waiting to be discovered. Not only can you find unique items, but you can also enjoy some exercise while searching for hidden gems.

This place has a great variety of antiques for inside home and yard. It has good selection of foods to eat in the food court. Wear comfortable shoes you will be doing a lot of walking, and if possible bring a buggy to haul your items in. The only downside is there are not enough seats throughout the park so if you can't walk long distances I wouldn't go. I have been going there for about 28 yrs it's a great show.

Don't go!!! Just read the entire page. The Thursday early bird said $50 a person. Wish they would have stated that BEFORE the $12 a head on Friday and Saturday. Maybe next year it would be nice if they let 65+ in Thursday for the $12. We like to stay away from big crowds.

Came to the Extravaganza for the first time in Sept. 2025! We were only able to make it on Sunday, and arrived before 10am to make the most of the day. Luckily parking and getting in wasn't an issue at all (likely because it was Sunday). It seemed like some vendors didn't show up for the final day of the show (or packed up extra early) which was a bit disappointing since we made the trip. But overall we had a good time! Still lots to see and a variety of food trucks for lunch. A clearer map near the entrance would help with navigation.

COhatch Springfield is a unique co-working space in Columbus that stands out with its Marketplace on the main floor, featuring local restaurants and a hand-crafted cocktail bar. It's also an ideal venue for events, offering excellent staff and reasonable prices. The historic building hosts various businesses, making it a popular spot. While the interior may feel cramped, the outside space is great for dining.
CoHatch was the PEFECT place for the 50th Birthday party I hosted!! The staff was AMAZING!!! Everyone, from the event coordinator, to the bartender, the vendors, even the cleaning crew were fantastic and so easy to work with. They were helpful, accommodating, and it's all so reasonably priced!! The food was delicious and the vendors kept it stocked throughout the entire event. The location is a plus also! After the party was over, we walked to the newly renovated State Theater. Some of our guests stayed at the Marriott across the street and had a great experience there as well. Definitely check them out for your next party!!

Champions Center Arena is a large indoor venue with limited seating, heated but still chilly. It offers plenty of bathrooms, a food/bar area, and a large tack shop with a mechanical bull. While it's great for horse sales, some visitors found it less accommodating for disabled spectators. The horse barn and indoor arena are well-maintained, but the grounds need improvement due to water accumulation. Despite being busy, the venue remains clean and provides a nice atmosphere for shows.

The parking lot was not treated for the icy conditions. Areas of the building were heated while others were not as warm.

We were there for a national dog agility competition. It's a very nice facility - big, well-lit, well-maintained, and clean (well, for a dirt-floored horse arena). We stayed on-site in one of the many (many!) RV spots. The water distribution system for the RV sites was down, but they did have a water fill station available and a dump station is available. The stall area was also quite nice. Again, big, well-lit, well-maintained, and clean. We'd definitely go back.

Wittenberg University is a place where students receive care and support from professors, with many free resources available on campus. Despite misconceptions, it's not just for the wealthy as there are numerous scholarships offered to assist students. While some may perceive it as an elitist institution, the reality is that most students receive financial aid. The university also offers a unique program in Special Education and Early Childhood Education, allowing graduates to be licensed in both areas after just four years of study.

Wittenberg to the uninformed looks like a snobby little rich school where girls get there daddies to pay for everything and every guy you run into is a jock. This is a false image. Sure there are rich people, it is an expensive school, but there are also people who have to work to go there. It is expensive because the quality of education that you can receive there is above others. Almost every other student at Wittenberg is receiving financial assistance. People at Wittenberg are welcoming and kind, ask any new student. Ask anyone who has gone there without a prepossessed prejudice. I toured Wittenberg after being accepted, without knowing the cost, and what I found was a nice community of people. I attend this school. I work hard every day to pay for it, when I could have easily gone somewhere less expensive and paid not a dime. I chose Wittenberg because it felt welcoming, and I wouldn't want to study anywhere else. The professors care about the students, the campus is beautiful, and the people are friendly. Everyone is not a stuck up little rich kid who owns a BENZ, but there are so many people who care about others more than you can find at any big name school. Wittenberg is a great place to be educated.

As my experience this is a great school. The professors care about their students. There are many resources on campus that are free and provide all students with help.

There may be people who complain about upstuck kids here but we also have generous students who care.

Buck Creek Nature Park is a lovely and clean park with campsites close together, attracting an interesting mix of people. The area can get loud and crowded during the day but becomes quiet at night. It's not rugged camping, and visitors are often country folk enjoying activities like fishing and family outings.

The park is lovely and very clean. The campsites are very close together and filled with an interesting assortment of people. There were dogs and kids roaming around unattended. It was very loud and crowded, but as soon as it got dark it quickly became quiet- even the dogs went silent. The morning began early when people got up and packed quickly and left. It was interesting. Not rugged camping per say and the people there were country folk drinking Budweiser and listening to kid rock on blast.

The park appeared remarkably clean and meticulously maintained, with vibrant greenery and well-trimmed pathways. The trails were clearly marked, making it easy to navigate through the lush surroundings. As I made my way along the path, I was captivated by the breathtaking waterfall cascading down the rocks, its crystal-clear water sparkling in the sunlight. The sound of the rushing water created a serene atmosphere, inviting visitors to pause and take in the natural beauty of the scene.

Awesome park for hiking and enjoying wildflowers. As well as seeing where history took place. There are roads to drive on if you can't hike. As well as some covered picnic areas. We are before we went so didn't investigate the picnic area much. Right now (June is a great time to see wild flowers there.
Michael R — Google review
I'm honestly pretty disappointed. I came here to do a bit of hiking and see the waterfall. A section of the road was closed off, so I had to drive all the way around the main loop to get to the parking area. The trails were not well marked, they were were narrow and sometimes muddy; they did not seem well-maintained at all. You can't get very close to the waterfall, just stop on an old bridge about 80 yards downstream from it (unless you venture up through the brush, as it looked like others had done). Bathroom facilities are dirty porta-johns. There was a cover for maybe a spillway service access or something that was literally just a sheet of thick plywood and some leftover steel roofing that looked like it might blow away in the next storm - didn't strike me as safe. I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving my kids playing around it. I saw a handful of people fishing here, so maybe that's the best thing to do at this park when there isn't a reenactment going on.

This is far nicer than nearby Buck Creek State Park. I'd come here 1000 times over before going there for a hike. It's gorgeous, lots of birds singing, squirrels, and lots of wild flowers, that are doing an excellent job attracting butterflies and dragonflies. You can easily smell the wildflowers as well. It's very shady on all of the trails, making it very pleasant even in warmer weather. The highlight is the boardwalk just past the cemetery. It's also mostly flat aside from a few places with stairs. Only knocks are no restrooms and only a few trails, none of great length.

Very neat Nature Preserve. Overall, all three trails are 1.2 miles. Part of the Fen has a boardwalk. There is a cemetery as well. Very pretty views and trails and boardwalk were well maintained.

My partner and I wanted to stretch our legs from our road trip. This nature preserve offers a nice, small hike (very flat). A small, old cemetery is present and accessible. The trail was a bit muddy in some areas. There were some stairs and a board walk as well. I was a little disappointed about the "no pets" sign. We also didn't plan to pick any mushrooms on our trip, but this is the first time I came across a "mushroom picking is prohibited" sign. Overall, the signage seems a little strict especially if you respect the nature preserve and trail, and pick up after yourself.

They've really made a lot of changes to this to this park in the past few years. Restoring the grassland and adding new parking lots. Different wildflowers. And new trails. The trails to The tall Grass very well maintained my dog loves them. Easy access to the bike trail. Plenty of walking trails along the river, to the grasslands, and to the woods.

I love coming here for a fairly easy walk with my dog or friends. It's paved, you can also ride bikes. There are ponds to fish, different sporting courts, picnic tables, etc.

Old Reid Park has limited facilities, but is a nice natural place. Has a dog park, tennis courts, shuffle board courts and a shelter house. It is mostly quiet and lightly used. I've used this place to get away from people for many years.

Lovely park! Have a nice lake with little fishies in it, and ducks and geese seem to visit it. The day we were there there was a large flock of wild turkeys. There's also a playground for kids. We visit here often with our kids and they love the park!

Wide walk ways, gorgeous trees, it's beautiful. The greatest part was watching the Bald Eagle caught fish from the ponds.

Sizable park with a baseball field, playground & grassy lawns, plus a shelter house & picnic areas.
Where roots are tamed, trimmed, and birthed into a concrete foundation! Nature, science, universal peace & leisure all time dwell here. All in for a complete restoration and upgrades! Also is starting to hold more events. Keep an eye out!

We visited this park as part of a scavenger hunt. There wasn’t a lot there, but there were some play areas off in the distance.

Not the safest area ever with a school right there by the park I took a walk and just wanted to get away.. this is not the place to go. There was used needles ? Everywhere and beer bottles, broken glass and to it all when I turned to leave a homeless male asked me for money when I told him I was sorry I didn't have any money on me he began following me and screaming obscenities at me along the lines of he was good and I was going to hell for not giving him the chain and ring I had on. None the less the next time I feel the need to take a walk I will drive to pump house ... I ending all I can say about this park is WOW

I think the ball Diamonds are going to waste they could be utilized for summer and fall use just as well as Lagonda. I played in Davey Moore. Park when my children were young and now our little league team practices there the fields are terrible they just cut the grass that's it bring back softball...to our side of town...please.✌

Another honorable park named after the great featherweight boxer Davey Moore. It's well known to Springfield locals and it has wide use for baseball games and another area gives the park a black eye...enough said.
Ricky G — Google review
I have been to Davey Moore Park as I did live very near there but, it has been many years ago. I do wish to return again very soon to see how the park is being kept. I will do this on my next visit to my home town. I remember when Davey died very well. My parents and his were very good friends. I remember my mother taking a huge cherry cheesecake to their home, to be served to their family and friends after Davey's passing. As I recall, it was a very sad time for my family and the entire city of Springfield. I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Davey but, I knew his parents. They would visit our church from time to time and they were such lovely people.

There isn't a water fountain there or present laying any condition to want or need for any nutritional or even though a heat stroke if that would be any type of situation that would happen not to judge harshly or all right get something that's not a fact or matter of fact sorry pinion towards children being able to be there and be safe and I have the opportunity and the ability to play on like what kind of playground equipment or even you get a chance to share toys r us playground equipment and supplies showing and giving good education towards learning how we share as a community without cruelty and suffering.
