👍👍 Jebediah Springfield's flute did contain a strange confession but I had an enjoyable time researching this great town. However, the nuclear power plant could probably use some extra safety measures.

    This was pretty interesting to experience the local history. I'd love to see more Simpsons references, but the rights probably costs too much. Especially now with Mickey owning them.

    Not too bad, the entire town is it getting fixed up, which is nice to see after years of neglect.

    Ein nettes kleines Museum in DEM Springfield das als Inspiration zu der Zeichentrickserie 'the Simpsons' geführt hat. Aber es geht Hauptsächlich um die Geschichte der Stadt selbst. Der Eintritt ist KOSTENLOS; ich empfehle jedoch das bereitstehende Spendenglas zu benutzen um die Gemeinnützige arbeit zu unterstützen!! Man merkt wirklich wie liebevoll und aufwendig hier mit viel mühe und hingabe alles preperiert ist. Unbedingt anschauen - Zeitaufwand ca. 10-15 Minuten. Mein Dank und meine Hochachtung gilt dem gesamten Team!! ;-)

    I was pleasantly surprised to see it is free, well run and very historical. They have a small gift area, but good prices. T-shirts too Donations are appreciated.

    The Springfield History Museum is on the small side but is definitely worth visiting. The front room is used for rotating exhibits, while the room in the back has a permanent display. It's free and there is a small gift shop.

    Interesting small place. The haunted Museum they had this year was good, but not great. Wasn’t much and it was a fast walk through. I think we were through it less then 3 minutes. The kids had fun so it was worth it.
