A very nice area with beautiful houses, some almost mansion size. Well worth a walk through the neighborhood. It was too cold the day we were there. But, sadly to say there were other houses outside the area that was just as elegant at one time that has not been taken care of, some uninhabitable. Show less

We had a wonderful time in downtown St. Charles. The area is a very charming and laid back district near the Missouri River. It features a variety of cool and unique shops, lots of great places to eat (meals and snacks), great bars, and lots of history. We loved the cobblestone streets. We spent a wonderful, relaxing day here and are looking forward to returning soon. Two big Power Trippers thumbs up! - The Power Trippers

History Museum on the Square is located right on historic Route 66 in Springfield, MO. Our six permanent galleries tell the stories of significant events in Springfield and create distinct and intentional dialogues about objects, individuals, and history– dialogues that foster examinations of unique aspects of Springfield, Greene County and its people. A rich and vast collection of artifacts, photographs, and stories of the crossroads are combined using innovative technologies. Take a ride in our Trolley Time Machine, see if you are as good a shot as Wild Bill Hickok in a recreation of the first Wild West Shootout, explore what Springfield was like during the Civil War, and travel down the Mother Road to the place where Route 66 got its name. Walking tours of Springfield, special programs and events are offered throughout the year and can be found on our website. Voted #1 Best New Attraction by the readers of USA TODAY.
