See where Victorian era parishioners worshiped, in this Victorian Era Churches in Downtown Springfield Second Saturday Walking Tour, led by Bob McCarroll, board member and officer-at-large.

The tour departs from the Springfield Museums Welcome Center and will stop at:

We will enter at least three churches, barring weddings or church services.
