This multi-media presentation will have you laughing at Springfield's past. Based on real people and events, it will highlight the comic, ironic, and odd parts of Springfield history that aren't typically included in the history books. Hear about the town's muddy, garbage-ridden streets, a thieving Lincoln fanatic, political passions gone awry, and much more.
