About Clark County Heritage Center

The Clark County Heritage Center is run by the Clark County Historical Society and occupies a historic building in downtown Springfield. The museum galleries display local history, while the library and archives serve researchers who want to study the county's past. The building was first put up in 1890 for city offices, and it later became the home of the historical society after the city moved to a new hall in 1979. Visitors can also learn about the Crabill Homestead, a 1820s house in Buck Creek State Park that the society operates during its open season.
