Title
The Old Wooden Bandstand, Oskaloosa, IA, 1882; Town Square
Description
The old wooden bandstand was built back in 1882 so that performers like C.L. Barnhouse's Iowa Brigade Band could entertain spectators from around the county. The bandstand was originally built to cover the cap underneath that came about as a result of a failed 2,500 foot artesian well dig that cost Oskaloosa and Mahaska County $35,000 between 1872-1876. On the rights side of the photo stands a cannon commemorating the Grand Army of the Republic.
