Springfield packs more history per block than cities twice its size. This weekend takes you from Ohio's only Smithsonian Affiliate art museum to Frank Lloyd Wright's meticulously restored Westcott House — with the Heritage Center, Hartman Rock Garden, and a great meal at Casa Centro in between. Come curious. Leave impressed.
