Blue Springs Historical Society

Blue Springs Historical Society All volunteer, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We are hoping to have most of the depot renovated by spring.

The Blue Springs Historical Society is an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization formed in 1976 to preserve and pass on the rich history of Blue Springs. Financial support for the Society comes through monetary and in-kind donations, grants, membership dues, and fundraising activities. The society has three
buildings in its care that need regular maintenance and upkeep: the Dillingham-Le

wis House Museum, the Chicago & Alton Hotel, and the Chicago & Alton Train Depot. Some additional financial support still needed to complete. The hotel is still in need of a great amount of funding to start renovations. Only building open to the public right now is the Dillingham-Lewis House Museum. Organized to maintain community involvement in the historical districts of Blue Springs, MO
based in the Dillingham-Lewis Historical home at 15th and Main Streets.
