The library is spacious and well designed with a dedicated teen area and there's also a children's library and a separate reading "room". For those who need them, there are plenty of computers throughout. I love the library and so far, have been to libraries in 6 different states and I'm so impressed and pleased with Springfield's library designs, so much valuable space for public use and all of the programs offered.

The children's area was super neat, they have a train over the top going around and super spacious. The people around seemed to appreciate and respect the library.

The staff is very helpful and very friendly.

Being right in the center of downtown makes it convenient for anybody who rides the bus plus it's surrounded by soo many food places.

This happened the other night when I was in the library with my laptop, and the librarian said they would have to request a new key the next day.

We had around 70 people, and there was plenty of space to add 70 more! They already had the tables and chairs set up for us, even though we were supposed to have to do that ourselves. This is an old school that they have turned into an event center. They have done an amazing job, and they are still working on it, so it will only get better. Thank you, Wes, for the wonderful customer service!

Our grandsons are homeschooling for the first time this year (2nd & 6th grade) so when we decided…read moreto attend a St. Louis Cardinals game, we planned a couple National Parks along the way for some History lessons. The Park Attendant that was working the front desk was so friendly and explained a lot of history about Wilson's Creek to us. We enjoyed the park film and the museum at the Visitor's Center. They have a very large firearms collection that was interesting to look at. We walked up to the Ray House and also a few of the hikes: The Fort Smith Battery, Price's Headquarters and we ended very abruptly after hiking the East Overlook. When we got to our car after East Overlook, we noticed we had 100's of ticks on us. We spent the next hour trying to get all of them off of our shoes, socks and clothes. We did not make any more stops until we got back to the Visitor Center. Once inside, we explained to the Park Ranger about the ticks and she informed us that she always lets people know they have had an increase in ticks and chiggers this year and has Off that people can use before starting the hikes. Very disappointed that the first guy we spoke to did not mention this to us as we had explained we were heading out to the hikes so we could complete the Junior Ranger books and receive our badge... My daughter had a few chigger bites along with ticks and our grandsons were eat up with chigger bites... We were still pulling ticks off several hours later. The battlefield itself and park are very nice, with lots of history!! Just make sure you have plenty of Off with Deet before going on the hiking trails!!!

This historical marker stands on the grounds of the Webster County Courthouse and points out the…read morehistory of the area. There is plenty of street parking around and it is interesting to learn a bit. Stop by. The marker has quite a lot of information. On the front, it reads "Webster County, organized March 3, 1855, encompasses 590 sq. miles of the highest extensive upland area of Missouri's Ozarks. The judicial seat, Marshfield, lies 1490 feet above sea level, highest county seat in Mo. Pioneer legislator John F. McMahan named the county and county seat for Daniel Webster and his Marshfield, Mass. home. "Marshfield was laid out in 1856 by R.H. Pitts on land given by C.F. Dryden and W.T. and B.F.T. Burford. Until a courthouse was built, county business was conducted at Hazelwood where Joseph W. McClurg, later Gov. of Mo., operated a general store. Today's Carthage marble courthouse, built 1939-41, is the county's third. "During the Civil War, a small force of pro-Southern State troops was driven out of Marshfield, Feb. 1862, and ten months later a body of Confederates was routed east of town. On Jan. 9, 1863, Gen. Joseph O. Shelby's troops burned the stoutly built Union fortifications at Marshfield and at Sand Springs, evacuated earlier. By 1862, the telegraph passed near Marshfield on a route later called the "Old Wire Road."" And on the reverse, it continues with "In Webster County, straddling the divide between the Missouri and Arkansas rivers, rise the headwaters of the James, Niangua, Gasconade, and Pomme de Terre rivers. A part of the 1808 Osage Indian land cession, the county was settled in the early 1830's by pioneers from Ky. and Tenn. An Indian trail crossed southern Webster County and many prehistoric mounds are in the area. "The railroad building boom of the post Civil War period stimulated county growth as a dairy, poultry, and livestock producer. The Atlantic & Pacific (Frisco) was built through Marshfield, 1872, and by 1883 the Kansas City, Springfield, & Memphis (Frisco) crossed the county. Seymour, Rogersville, Fordland, and Niangua grew up along the rail routes. Early schools were Marshfield Academy, chartered, 1860; Mt. Dale Academy, opened, 1873; and Henderson Academy, 1879. "Astronomer Edwin P. Hubble (1889-1953) was born in Marshfield. The composition "Marshfield Tornado" by the Negro musician John W. (Blind) Boone gave wide publicity to the April 18, 1880 tornado which struck town killing 65 and doing $1,000,000 damage." The marker was erected in 1958 by the State Historical Society of Missouri and State Highway Commission. [Review 1085 of 2024 - 348 in Missouri - 22112 overall]
