Springfield has lots of very interesting history. Most people are not aware that Springfield was actually the industrial city for America during the 1800s. Just about anything you can think of was made in Springfield. Things like coffins to windmills and turbins. Even Kelly Springfield tires. Hayner Distillery had a warehouse as well as Atchul Distillery. There was a prominent family that were both business folks and farmers known as Leffel. There was a fellow by the name of Col. Joseph Leffel that rsn several business during the 1850s till his death in 1907. He was once a counilman as well. Very unusual for the time because he only stood 3 foot 10 inch tall. Then there was James Leffel who invented the windmills and sold them all across America. He also inveted water turbins. I can not remember where but some water turbins he made are still in use to today in Springfield. So much cool stuff in this town!
A lot of were, was, been, and hads, yeah Springfield USED TO BE, a great place, but today it’s simply not, even if u would have mentioned the westcott house, Springfield is just a no no 👎
When I was a kid back in the 70s and early 80s my family would go swimming at the CJ Brown Reservoir. I remember all those steps we had to go down to get to the swimming area. I wish you would have shown that in this video. I moved to Alabama in 1984 and I really miss Springfield
It's nice to see the good of Springfield. I live about 15 minutes north and I'm here around 3 times a week. I've had a blast here since the 90s. Most people just want to show rundown houses and bad areas and say it's all bad. Thanks man.
I moved out of Springfield about 5 years ago before the reservoir was changed and all that, I've been living in Cincinnati I got to say I really miss the place even if it is really tiny it always felt like home
I grew up in the field went to south high 96-00, alot has changed i hear from family there, the new hospital was built in my old neighborhood on yellow spring st. And it was mostly farm land before it was the lake live in the field from 85 to 03. Been thinking of moving back cause wv sucks.
Great video!! Great original music too. Sadly the IHOP is closed but come check out some other great new improvements like the restaurants at CoHatch. Bravo, Connor. (:
I moved from Springfield to Columbus a few years ago. I’m moving back to Springfield. Springfield is a lot smaller town so don’t expect what you get in Columbus. But the cost of living is great. What Springfield doesn’t have, you can find it in Columbus and Dayton.

Interesting, but Springfield was never the industrial capital of the entire country. That distinction goes to Detroit.
