DESTINATION

Springfield

After the road came through in 1838 it became known as the “town at the end of the National Pike.” Now US 40, the pike connected Springfield with industrial cities as far east as Cumberland, Md., and opened new markets for the city's harvests. Agricultural machinery firms set up shops, and slowly Springfield's complexion changed from rural to industrial. Its industries have diversified, producing turbines, engines and piano plates. Wittenberg University and its 2,000 students add a college-town flavor to this bustling city.
