Hands down the best Route 66 museum in Missouri and one of the top ten museums on ALL of Route 66! There's so much to see and interact with while you're visiting here. There are multiple floors that have a great deal of Springfield history on display. Be sure to try the virtual shoot out!!! It's a blast! While you're here be sure to take in some of the great food joints on and near the square.

It's surprisingly interactive. From videos discussing history within Springfield and Native Americans to interactive content like the time-traveling trolley and shoot the target on the 5th floor. It was a great experience.
Very cool! Nice way to get to know our city more!
I cannot recommend Springfield's History Museum on the Square highly enough. It is everything I could personally hope for in a local history museum: professional, creative, inclusive, and beautifully conceived and designed. It is a true gem. The care and time put into making this space about the story and identity of Springfield is astounding. It touches on the Native American prehistory of the region and doesn't shy away from Southwest Missouri's troubled past with slavery and the Confederacy. It highlights both the movers and shakers as well as the common man's experience as post-war life changed with the coming of the railroad. Lastly, it ties both the old and new Western American experience together, taking us from the first shootout with Wild Bill to the birth of Route 66. From beginning to end it was an inspiring and inspired space. Can't recommend highly enough.
Loved it! Small, but very nice. The docent was great.
