A walk through Springfield’s history on the third floor of old City Hall reveals that there was a powerful recession – called “The Panic of 1873” – that nearly brought Springfield’s most powerful company to its knees. 

This and plenty of other factoids and pictures cover the walls of the History Museum for Springfield-Greene County in old City Hall, which itself gets a historic nod for being built in 1894 with local limestone from Phenix Quarry. The exhibit, “Made in Springfield: When industry and agriculture reigned,” runs through Nov. 13.
