Description

Maplewood Park Pavilion. 4 1/2" x 3 1/2" black and white photograph of the Maplewood Park open-air pavilion built for the Chautauqua meetings in the 1880s and 1890s. This is a scene in wintertime; the picnic tables are stacked for winter storage; a group of four women, one man and a child are standing on the edge of the shelter, likely ancestors of the album donor, Warren Gray. The pavilion was designed in a Greek or Roman temple design with square columns, however, supporting the structure on all sides.

Context

Belonged to donor's family. Waseca was one of the most active Chautauqua sites in Minnesota.
