Situated in Springfield, right on historic Route 66, the History Museum on the Square is made up of six different permanent galleries that help share stories about significant events that took place in the city and the surrounding area. The museum also strives for the galleries to create intentional and distinct dialogues about history, individuals, and objects that examine the unique aspects of the region and its people. These six galleries include Birthplace of Route 66, Will Hickok and the American West, Civil War in Springfield, Pioneers and Founders at the Crossroads; Trains, Trolleys and Transportation; and Native Crossroads at the Spring.
