Westfield State University: A Campus Tour

Horace Mann opened this school in 1839 as the first public college in America to admit men and women together, and it has trained Massachusetts teachers ever since.

Every campus tells one story to visitors and another to itself. This walk covers both. Four stops over 3.2 miles, about an hour and a half of walking. The story for each stop plays as you arrive, so nothing has to be looked up and nobody has to be followed.

It works as well at eight in the morning as it does at dusk. Stop for coffee, pick it back up.
