ID: 1186 | This file appears in: Edgewater Park
Band concerts were regularly held in Edgewater Park at the turn of the 20th century. Through the efforts of a committee of citizens headed by Conrad Mizer, weekly concerts began in 1898. It was estimated that between 15,000 to 20,000 persons regularly attended these concerts. Following Mizer's death in 1904, a monument was erected in his honor at Edgewater Park. This is now the oldest standing monument in Cleveland.
