These pictures illustrate the hometown of Meredith Willson, Mason City, has honored him--as he honored his hometown as the bases for River City, Iowa within his work, The Music Man.
The table top is one in the local McDonalds, as well as the room divider. The marching band is inside a local bank building. The River City streetscape is inside the building with the inscription from Seventy-Six Trombones around its top. The museum is inside this building also. The complex of this building, his boyhood home, and statue in a small park is all encompassed into The Music Man Square. It was a really a special place to visit for me, who absolutely loves The Music Man.
