We were here for a bridal show. It was really neat, like we were walking down a main street from 1 hundred years ago. The said part was that there were so many booths, we didn't get to enjoy the actual shops in the building. Looking forward to going back again.

A nice place to go and find out about River City's Famous Music Man based on the movie. They have a nice restaurant that serves ice cream and root beer and you can find out about Maid Marion The Librarian and all of the other characters.

Mason City never disappoints, the Music Man square is evidence of this. Carefully thought out, needs to be seen to appreciate. Nice people, too.
