Town Hall and Meeting House: Located on Four Corners Road, it's listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is still in regular use. The two-story structure was the town's first church, dedicated in 1799. Springfield had no town house then, so meetings and elections were held in the church. It was moved to its current site in 1851, when the voters decided to use the lower floor as a Town House and the upper for church services.
