<![CDATA[The Oskaloosa City Park in the Late 1800's, Iowa]]> https://www.iowaheritage.org/items/show/79061

Title

The Oskaloosa City Park in the Late 1800's, Iowa

Description

The Oskaloosa City Park has been a center of activity in the community for over a century, as events and entertainment have been conducted within the realm of the park. Also known as the town square, many businesses surround the park, so in many ways, the city park is really the center focal point for the community. One of the best features of the city park is the famous bandstand that stands in the center of the park. For years, C.L. Barnhouse and the Iowa Brigade Band would draw hundreds of people to hear their performances live at the bandstand. Before it became the city park, the area directly below the bandstand was the sight of an artesian well dig to supply the residents of Oskaloosa with water. After much money and five years were invested into the project empty-handed, the project was abandoned, a bandstand was built over the 2,000 foot hole, and a city park was created around the bandstand's outskirts.

Title

Oskaloosa Drug Company, Circa 1895; Iowa

Description

Pictured here is the Oskaloosa Drug Company with its staff standing outside of the building around 1895. Pharmacies in the 19th Century did not solely sell drugs to patrons, but carried other marketable goods as well in order to pick up a shortfall if people were not buying medicine from the store. This particular store offers paint and other products to potential patrons. Because of this, the concept of the soda pop fountain stemmed from the drug business.
