Brookfield bandstand project advances in town revival
Brookfield Missouri moves toward a downtown bandstand as a 5500 population town plans its Fourth of July Freedom Bells celebration. The octagonal concrete slab foundation remains, with fundraising reaching about 5900 dollars for the roofed structure. Local civic groups, including the Women’s Civic Organization, raised funds through bake sales and events, aided by donor anecdotes from former residents and an 86 year old widow.
