History Museum for Springfield-Greene County

057
  Springfield was founded by John Campbell, who built thirteen cabins in one year, living in each one before selling it to a new settler. The small museum covers local history including the Civil War, the shoot out between Bill Hickok and Davis Tutt, and a 1906 lynching.

  The museum is all accessible. An entrance ramp is located in the rear of the building. The elevator to museum which is on the third floor is located in the front.

  Most of the parking lots are marked for employees only. We parked along West Brower St. just across the street from the museum. The street appears to get little use and parking is free. Museum
