This view features the second Rustic Bandstand and the plaza. This postcard was postally used in 1910. I can't be 100% sure, but I'm taking a guess that the performers are "The Park Players". However, it could just as easily be one of the traveling acting troupes hired by the park for entertainment purposes. This scene actually reminds me of the bandshell and plaza area at Eagle Point Park (also in Dubuque and still open).Take a virtual stroll through Union Park in Dubuque, Iowa with images from its heyday & photos from the present.
