Review:
A donation in 2005 from Mr. M. Allen Swift allowed for the purchase of the Verizon building next to the Springfield Museums.
This 40,000 square foot space became the home of the Lyman & Merrie Wood Museum of Springfield History, which focuses on the history of Springfield in the 19th and 20th centuries. The museum has both permanent and temporary exhibits.
It is also the home of the Springfield History Library and Archives, which is a large collection of books, manuscripts, and photographs as well as computer databases for researchers such as those interested in their family genealogies.
