Spring Hill Historic Home
Overview
Take a step back to the past at Spring Hill Historic Home.
About Spring Hill: First settled in 1811 by Thomas and Charity Rotch, distinguished Quakers from New England, Spring Hill was in the center of Massillon's history for 162 years. Visitors can tour the historic 1821 farmhouse and learn more about its unique features, like a hidden staircase used on the Underground Railroad. Spring Hill also has many unique artifacts, such as an 1848 diploma from the Charity School of Kendal, founded at Spring Hill and which was one of the first schools in Kendal and, later, Massillon.
Outside of the farmhouse, guests can explore sixteen acres of historic property, which includes wooded trails and farmland. Several outbuildings and barns related to the sheep and dairy industries also remain. Spring Hill is proud of the events that took place on and around the farm and is honored to be part of the National Parks Service's Underground Railroad Network to Freedom as a documented site on Ohio's Underground Railroad.
Tours: While on tour, guests can explore many topics related to Spring Hill, such as Quakers, agriculture, pioneer living, and the Underground Railroad. We want to craft a tour experience that best fits your needs and can emphasize any of these topics to enrich the guest experience.
Our Summer Saturday walk-in tour season lasts from June through Labor Day Weekend. The tours begin on the hour at 1 p.m., 2 p.m., and 3 p.m. While reservations are not required, tours are capped at 15 people per hour, so if you would like to ensure that you will make it for a tour at your preferred time, please reserve your tickets below before your visit.
Tours of the 1821 farmhouse last 45-60 minutes, and a combined house and grounds tour will last roughly 90 minutes.
Private Tours: Interested groups of two or more may also schedule tours year-round by contacting Spring Hill Historic Home's office at info@springhillhistorichome.org or (330) 833-6749.
