Over the past fifteen years, I have hosted Ozarks Watch Video Magazine and during those years I have visited communities throughout the Ozarks. What I have observed is that history museums are points of pride for those communities. The tourist industry in the Springfield area will benefit greatly from the History Museum on the Square coupled with other area cultural resources. I believe that we have only begun to tap the amazing attraction that Route 66 represents for tourism in our region. The economic benefits of growing our regional tourist industry will be very significant.” —James P. Baker, Ph.D., Missouri State University Mission Statement Our vision for the History Museum on the Square is to create an amazing regional history museum and expanded educational destination for Springfield and its visitors. Located on Route 66, our historic Park Central Square buildings have been restored to preserve the rich heritage of our downtown. Service Area While we are focused on the history of southwest Missouri, we routinely have visitors from around the world. Funding The History Museum on the Square is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization supported by admission fees, special programs, and the generosity of individuals, foundations and corporations who believe in the value of preserving Springfield’s heritage and sharing it with the community and our visitors. 12 Month Goals The History Museum on the Square has just opened a state-of-the-art museum in the heart of downtown Springfield on Park Central Square, located in the historic Barth’s building and the adjacent historical building. The museum’s goal is to create a cultural destination as an economic driver for the community, while also developing synergistic ongoing partnerships with other educational and cultural institutions. In the next 12 months, we will focus on growing our memberships, admissions, and educational programs.
