About the Springfield History Museum Committee

The Springfield History Museum Committee was established by the City Council in 2017 when the Museum rejoined the City of Springfield to help guide the vision of the Museum. The Committee assists the Museum Curator in a variety of ways, with a focus on making recommendations for exhibits and programming, assisting with implementation of exhibits and special events, and assisting with community outreach, publicity, and fundraising.

The mission of the Springfield History Museum is to foster an awareness of the history of Springfield, provide a link between our past and present, and promote an appreciation of the diverse communities that call Springfield and rural East Lane County home.
