After not taking place for three straight years during the pandemic, the Springfield Preservation Trust is again hosting its annual Historic Homes Tour.

The homes tours are a major fund raiser for the trust. A post-tour social has been added this year.

WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Springfield Preservation Trust President Erica Swallow.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
