First floor exhibit was on schooling in early days of Springfield. Upstairs was a number of artifacts and an excellent video on the history of Springfield.
We went to the museum to see The Simpsons exhibit and all we found was ONE thing to do with them! The rest of the museum was very nice but very very small. The first floor had very nice art pieces and the 2nd floor had more stuff for kids but still had to be very careful not to break anything. Wasn't the best place to take a child.
Like the upstairs historical Springfield items. Not to fussed about the Art show too many posters to read and not enough hands/eyes on in the gallery. Great Director and fun to talk with and had great kbowledge.
This museum is not very big but has interesting collections and displays. It is located in a fine old brick building downtown and is worth a look.
In the third story, there are statues of the entire Simpson's family that are fun for photo ops. I was pleasantly surprised at all the fu. Things to read in this cute little museum. The art was excellent too!
That's what folks used to say, and when it comes to museums this one fits!It isn't going to take all day to view all the displays and this may be a great experience for the very young, the disabled and elderly.Wonderful history of the area and exhibits that change in variety,skill, and always enticing me to come see what's new!
Being new to the area, it was great to get a feel for the local history and the lay of the land and cultures. We like museums overall and this was great because it was free and right near the library and civic center. Very friendly staff and great pictures of the Springfield of yesteryear.
This is so cute. They have the Simpson couch to have your picture with the Simpsons. They claim to be the real Springfield and I believe them. There is a nice story about the history of the town. Everyone was very friendly. Nice stop on a Saturday when we needed something to do as we passed through town.
well worth the time to wel go back in time and enjoy the stories. my wife and i both enjoyed reading about and seeing the history
What do you expect in Springfield, OR? People put lots of love and energy into this place. And the Simpsons-Sofa is a real must-see!
