Patrons of the History Museum on the Square play an important role in preserving and sharing Springfield's history. Patrons help the museum care for over 200,000 objects, photographs, and documents in the collection and provide educational and entertaining opportunities to engage with our history. Together, we strengthen our community's future by learning about our past and culture.
Our Museum Guests step back in time. Our Museum Patrons ensure the future.
