Norwayne Field was built by the Work Projects Admin- istration(WPA)in the 1930's. Fieldstone bleachers traverse the hillside forming amphitheater seating for about 1000 spec- tators. Originally used as an athletic field, an elevated stone and concrete stage was constructed in the 1990's and the facility is presently used for concerts and other entertainment, espe- cially during the annual Mint Festival on Father's Day weekend in June. A stone gazebo houses a memorial fountain to local veterans of the Civil and first World Wars. Winding sidewalks and old- fashioned street lamps make this downtown park a popular place to visit.
