This charming bandstand was built in 1932 as a W.P.A. project.
The roof was destroyed in the early 1960's and local residents and businesses donated money to rebuild it, with a picture from the county museum as the only guide.
Today, the restored structure serves a a local landmark and as a site for community events.
The surrounding courtyard includes benches and hitching posts from the early 1900's.
No tour to Fredonia is complete without going on this scenic drive up to the "Top of the Mound." From this vantage point, you may enjoy the sights for miles around or just enjoy the beautiful park and picnic facilities. An observation tower provides unobstructed views and photo opportunities.
