Title

The Knights Templar Band, 1886-1890; Oskaloosa; Mahaska County; Iowa

Description

In Oskaloosa, Iowa, music has always been appreciated and taken seriously by its bands. One of the first bands in Oskaloosa was the Knights Templar Band, formed out of the musical brotherhood that existed within the town. On weekends and on special days, the Knights Templar Band would play on top of the town square's bandstand before a large audience of families and friends in the community. Here they are pictured in front of the Oskaloosa bandstand created by C.L. Barnhouse.
