History Fun & Ice Cream August 27

The Springfield Historical Society is hosting the opening of the bridge dedication time capsule buried 25 years ago during a fun-filled afternoon Sunday, August 27.

A city-wide scavenger hunt is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. Clues can be picked up at the Springfield Community Center or on this website. Locations are in the city limits and easily reached by walking or bicycling. When reviewing the clues, you may want to plan your route!
