Great ride today. Temperatures in the 70's-low 80's under blue skies. Rode out to Springfield, Ohio which is a very interesting town on US40. The highway is America's first and oldest started in 1806.
The house was an inn and tavern built on that road in Springfield in 1839. Was a stop along the road in the days when people traveled by horse.
A few more sights below, love the old buildings in the city.
Not open today (and I knew that) but stopped by Mother Stewart's Brewing also in Springfield. Have had their beer before, and its very tasty.
Afternoon was a good time to roll into Springfield, the traffic was light that time of day, people still at work. A lot of motorcycles were out though and did a lot of waving.
Above and to the left is the Westcott House, which is a Prairie style house designed by the legendary designer Frank Lloyd Wright. It is the only house he designed in Ohio and was built for the Westcott family. The father owned the Westcott Motor Car Company.
After a very large renovation the house was opened to the public in 2005.
Enjoyed the ride a great deal today and looking forward to the next one. Thank you for visiting my page!
