Popular Tourist Attractions

Whatever your interests, Springfield has an attraction for you. Check out just three of the many places that you can experience when you visit in an RV rental Springfield OH.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Westcott House

The Westcott House is the only Prairie style house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in the state of Ohio. The grounds include the main house and a garage with pony stable connected by an extensive pergola.

In 1946, the house was divided into multiple apartments and no longer reflected the vision of its architect. In fact, much of the original furniture and most of the original light fixtures and other details were removed from the house.  In addition, a severe lack of resources led to an extreme deterioration of the structure.

Recently, the house underwent a comprehensive restoration and all of its features, from art glass to original hardware and hand-decorated furniture, have been rebuilt according to Wright's specifications, and the gardens have been re-landscaped to reflect the style from Wright's era.

Take a guided tour of the Westcott House and learn about the Prairie Style home Frank Lloyd Wright designed for industrialists and entrepreneurs Burton J. and Orpha Westcott and their two children.

Little Miami Scenic Trail

The Little Miami Scenic Trail winds along the Little Miami River and stretches for over 70 miles, through woodlands, countryside and towns alike. The trail passes through Yellow Springs, Xenia and Waynesville, before it reaches downtown Milford.

You can bike part of the trail or saddle up for the entire journey. Whatever you decide, there's plenty to do along the way. For example, two state parks, John Bryan and Caesar Creek can be reached from the trail. Other sightseeing options include the Xenia Station and the Ft. Ancient State Historic Site.
