Step back in time and
witness the clash of
cultures at the Battle
of Piqua in Frontier
Theatre, accompany the
Crabill Family Conestoga
wagon on its journey to
Springfield and see how the
National Road brought people
and goods to the region. Rare artifacts
and unique displays reveal struggles for
equality, changing technology and slices of
Americana to which everyone can relate.
Located in historic downtown
Springfield and built in 1890, this newly
renovated facility, extending an entire
city block, is now home to Clark County’s
“Smithsonian.” Inside, you’ll find a research
library and archives, museum, exhibition
hall, and gift shop. This is truly the story of
America’s Heartland.
The spectacular City Building and
Market, a Richardsonian Romanesque
masterpiece by local architect Charles A.
Cregar, is now home to the
Heritage Center of Clark
County. This history museum
and archive opens a window
on seven generations of local
and national history. The
museum assembles priceless
artifacts into exhibits
interpreting America’s fascinating story.
One of the museum’s greatest
artifacts is the building itself. Designed
in the late 1890s by Cregar, it is strongly
influenced by Henry Hobson Richardson’s
Alleghany County Courthouse in Pittsburgh.
Cregar was Springfield’s most prolific
local architect, designing Kelly’s Arcade,
St. Raphael’s Catholic Church, St. John’s
Lutheran Church and numerous other local
landmarks before his death in 1896 at the
age of 39.
Each year, the Heritage Center
hosts approximately 30,000 visitors. This
includes around 50 organizations and over
9,000 students.

not only Springfield and Clark
County’s history, but is also a

Hartman Rock garden What
began as a modest concrete fish
pond in H.G. (Ben) Hartman’s

a mixture of history, religion and
depression-era pop culture.

FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT’s
WESTCOTT HOUSE
T
he Burton J. Westcott House has recently undergone an extensive
restoration, returning the historic structure to its original
grandeur. The Westcott House, built in 1908, is a unique example
of Prairie Style architecture. The Westcott House not only
embodied Frank Lloyd Wright’s innovative Prairie School
architectural design but also extended Wright’s concept of
relating the building to its site by means of a terrace, a pool,
gardens, and other landscape elements.
An extensive pergola capped with an intricate wooden trellis
connects the detached carriage house to the main house, a design
element included in only a few other Prairie Style houses. The
Darwin D. Martin residence, built in 1904 and located in Buffalo,
New York, incorporates this concept.
Through the cooperative efforts of the Frank Lloyd Wright
Building Conservancy and The Westcott House Foundation, today
The Westcott House is an important rediscovery, a notable, newlyunearthed and revitalized example of Wright’s legacy. The Westcott
House plays host to a number of special events and the museum store
offers a unique collection of local artisan and design-related gifts.
1340 E. High St. | 937-327-9291 | westcotthouse.org

The site is currently under

The 24-room former
stagecoach inn, built in 1839
along the Historic National
Road during the coach and
wagon era, includes an
extensive display of antique
furnishings, antique dolls and
one of the largest antique
button collections in the U.S.
David Snively built the
Federal-style Pennsylvania
House along the newlyconstructed National Road.
This tavern and inn was
an important stopover
for livestock drovers and
pioneers traveling by foot, on
horseback or in Conestoga
wagons during the 19th
century westward expansion
of the United States.
Closed as an inn after
the Civil War, it then served
as a doctor’s clinic, boarding
house and secondhand
shop before falling into
total disrepair. The Lagonda
Chapter of the Daughters
of the American Revolution
saved it from demolition in
1939 and have owned and
operated it as a museum
since.
The Pennsylvania
House was the boyhood
home of Dr. Isaac Funk, of
Funk & Wagnalls dictionary
fame, whose parents
operated the inn during
the 1840s.

MAD RIVER FISHING
Ohio’s oldest trout stream is the Mad River. Stocking of this
river began in the late 1800s with the introduction of brook
trout. Then in 1884, rainbow trout were introduced to the
stream; and in 1931, ODNR switched to stocking brown trout
in the stream. Today the stream is stocked annually with
6”-8” brown trout to supplement the population. Fly
fishing is good on the Mad River, as there are good hatches
of mayflies, caddis flies, and other popular trout foods
throughout the spring, summer, and fall months.
