Albany Bandstand
|
Sugar River dam
The bandstand is located in the small Village of Albany in a one block park close to the Sugar River. Not much is known about its origins. One person who grew up in Albany across the street from the bandstand has fond memories of playing there in the 1950s, and she thought it was probably at least 23 to 30 years old then. Today it is used primarily as a picnic shelter.
Close by, the Sugar River attracts many people on weekends who tube down the river.

This Park is the site where first a sawmill then a grist and flour mill stood from 1846 until 1978. The large wheel and shaft were driven by a turbine and used in producing waterpower for the grist mill and in later years electricity for the village. The corn was created and placed in recognition of the importance and excellence of the area's agriculture. Wild Forbs and grasses reffirm the continuing beauty of Albany's native vegetation. Albany sculpture by John Martinson. Park funds provided by O. E.D.A. Sculpture funds and forbs donated by Albany Women's League. Flowering crab trees and benches donated in memory of Truman E. Sharer Pfister. Juniper donated in memory of Earl Zwicky by Zwicky Bowling Team.
