Museum of Springfield History
In 1777 George Washington established the National Armory at Springfield which attracted many skilled workers and established Springfield as a precision manufacturing center. Indian motorcycles, Rolls-Royce, and Stevens-Duryea automobiles were manufactured in the city along with less technical products such as Breck shampoo, Milton Bradley games, and Friendly ice cream. The museum’s permanent exhibits focus mainly on the city’s manufacturing legacy. Admission tickets are good for five different museums all located in the same block.
The museum is accessible.
Two museum parking lots are located on either side of Edwards Street. Both are fairly small but short RVs will fit in the one on the northwest side of the street if parked using two spaces. Museum
