MISSION STATEMENT
The Springfield Art & Historical Society exists to promote an appreciation of Springfield’s history and historical art by identifying, collecting, preserving, and making available material that documents the story of the town’s people, industry, and culture.
Program Sat. Jan. 21 at 2 pm
Sometimes we get questions about where a vintage picture is actually located or, when we mention a place like the Sparrow Block, people don’t seem to know which block it is. So, this program is going to take you back through time. Using photographs, we will start with a recent view and take you back through the pictorial history of the building or place. Also, if you have questions, we can also talk about the pictures in the 2023 calendar
Recipes used at the "VT Eats" program on Oct 15th. Enjoy.

More important than ever in 2022!
The Covid-19 pandemic has presented all of us with challenges we never envisioned. We all have shared in the lockdowns, mask wearing, food shortages, and some of us have been on the front lines of the “battle.”
The Springfield Art and Historical Society would like to hear about your personal experiences and perspectives during this unprecedented time so that we can preserve them in our archives for future research and education by generations to come. Responses mailed to SAHS, PO Box 336, North Springfield, VT 05150 or can be emailed to sahs@vermontel.net. Please include your name only if you are comfortable in doing so.
Thank you to the people who submitted stories. It's so important to capture the stories of the pandemic for history.
