CENTRAL PARK
Central Park was included in the first
city plat in 1855. It soon became the site of rendezvous and concerts
of all kinds in bandshells of different eras. A notice for a July
park concert in the 1880s indicated that the evening’s program
would contain a Sousa march and “Gems of Stephen Foster.”
People were urged to “Cut this [ad] out and take it with
you,” apparently in lieu of a printed program.

A Letter to the Editor
The importance of the park was
made clear in this 1905 letter published in the Faribault
Republican.
