The bandstand in Central Park on the Square in Mansfield witnessed more than 80 years of all the things that went on in the heart of town, and a thousand speeches with every point of view imaginable—including one by a sitting US President in 1912.
After the bandstand was taken down in the 1950s, having gone to pieces due to weather and termites, it took another 40 years, but the city finally built a new public stage to stand in the Square and witness the good times and bad that pass through the town: this time made of steel.
