A Brief History of Hisgen
House
This historic home site has been renovated to provide all the
comforts of home while retaining the quaint country charm of Old
New England. A completely furnished efficiency studio, which was
formerly the caretakers' quarters, has its own private bath,
full kitchen, and is available for overnight getaways or short
term corporate rentals. Rates vary depending on your length of
stay
Thomas Hisgen was an independent man, first as a businessman and
then as a politician. He picked some formidable opponents. He
battled Standard Oil Co. as an independent manufacturer, and he
took on William Howard Taft and William Jennings Bryant as the
independent Party's candidate for President of the United States
in the election of 1908.
As a resident of West Springfield, Massachusetts, Thomas Hisgen
purchased the now historic estate in the early 1900's, and it
became the Hisgen Family Farm. Passed on to his daughter,
Henrietta Hisgen by way of her marriage to U.S. Congressman
Courtney Campbell of Florida, the Farm was sold in 2004 at the
time of Henrietta's passing.
