Yesterday, we took a trip to the Lyman & Merrie Wood Museum in Springfield. Mass. This is a really nice museum that house’s several different collections of Springfield’s History. From the Civil War to the 50s, Springfield was a major city in the industrial revolution. It was the home of the Springfield Armory, Duryea automobile company, Indian Motorcycle Company and Granville Brothers aircraft factory just to name a few. The museum has a great display of weaponry, motorcycles, cars and aircraft.
It's collection also includes more than 35 vintage Indian Motorcycles from the former Indian Motorcycle Museum. Esta K Manthos the owner of the former Indian Motorcycle Museum donated her multi-million dollar collection of antique motorcycles and memorabilia to the Springfield Museum Association to assure that it would remain in the city where the historic company was founded more than a century ago.
The museum opened to the public in the fall of 2009. The exhibits showcases Springfield's role as a manufacturing center and the role it played in transportation history. There were many inventions and " firsts" that were generated here. The museum is located at 21 Edwards street. Hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10-5pm and Sunday 11-5pm. Admission is free for residents of Springfield with proof of residency and $15 for adults; $10 for seniors and college students; $8 for children ages 3 to 17 and is good for all four museums located at the Quadrangle.
