Happy Throwback Thursday!
25 years ago, Henkel Construction Company completed The Music Man Square, creating one of Mason City's most beloved destinations.
The 40,000-square-foot facility includes the Meredith Willson museum, reunion hall, a music conservatory, and the iconic 1912 River City indoor streetscape. Designed to recreate the set of the 1962 Warner Bros. film, the streetscape features detailed facades, brick sidewalks, and wooden block streets.
Today, visitors can dance through the indoor streetscape, discover the life of Mason City's favorite musical son, and see the iconic 76 trombones hanging from the ceiling.
