The Springfield Historical Society was founded in 1959 by a group of citizens concerned about preserving the history of Springfield. This was an informal group, meeting in private homes. As the group expanded, public programs were held in the Springfield Elementary School auditorium and the organization began to accumulate historic artifacts and papers.
In the early 1990’s the Society took up residence in the Springfield Community Center. The Historical Society Room houses the collections and archives and provides space for exhibits and research. Adjacent rooms in the Center, including an auditorium, are available for use for lectures and other public programs.
The Society holds regular meetings four times a year on the last Wednesday of January, April, July, and October. Other programming is scheduled throughout the year. All meetings and programs are free and open to the public.
Open Thursdays 10AM-12PM, or by appointment.
Visitors are welcome, please call: (315)858-0707.
