Urban Renewed. Cemetery & Brewery Tour (Special Tour)
SOLD OUT
There is new life around two places known for death: The Old Columbia Street Burying Ground and Springfield Metallic Casket Factory. Join us on a special Happy Hour Tour of these unique community assets. We will start at the Burying Ground, the eternal resting places for Springfield’s earliest residents, to hear the stories of Springfield pioneers, Revolutionary War soldiers, and a member of the Boston Tea Party. We will then take a tour of the new Mother Stewart’s Brewery, housed in a restored section of the Metallic Casket Factory, and sample a flight of their award-winning beers. Mobility 2.
