Step back in time to explore the history of the Harston estate on Haws Lane and the Harris family
who built it in 1909. Designed by the renowned architects Cope & Stewardson with gardens by
famed landscape designer Beatrix Farrand, the Tudor-style home once stood on 143 acres. Through rare photos, stories, and memories shared by Harris descendants, learn about Harston’s vibrant past and its evolution through the years to the present day.

Presented by Ed Zwicker IV, known for his engaging talks on Springfield’s historic estates, including “Whitemarsh Hall”, Chestnut Hill Amusement Park, Laverock Farm, and more.
