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.
