Description
The town square in Broken Bow, Nebraska, is beautifully decorated with American flags on each corner for the Fourth of July. Located at the center of the park is the century-old Tom Butler Bandstand.
When Jesse Gandy platted Broken Bow, Nebraska, in 1882, he donated the lots to people to build homes and establish businesses, but he reserved the center of the town square for a park landscaped with trees, walkways, and a bandstand.
The town square was the town's first park. They broke ground for the park in 1885 and planted the trees on Arbor Day 1886. The town added the bandstand in 1916. Band concerts were held weekly and still are on most Thursday nights during the summer.
