The Dillingham-Lewis Museum, completed in 1906, is the only structure constructed of native limestone in Blue Springs. The house is named after two families - the Morgan Vachel Dillingham family, who operated a general store in Blue Springs in the 1880s; and later purchased by Miss Narra Lewis, a world traveler, who was famous for her parties. The house now serves as headquarters for the Blue Springs Historical Society and is furnished with historical items and period pieces.

Fleming Park has a native hoofed animal enclosure and the Audubon Nature Center and Library. It is home to three lakes that attract boaters, fishermen and windsurfers.

Located within Fleming Park, this living history village/museum that contains original structures, interpreters in period clothing portray the area's way of life in the mid-1800s.
