Additional Information: | Resurveyed by UWM-CRM in October 2020. Nineteen-acre park named in honor of Henry Horn, Senior, from whom the Brillion Park Association purchased the site in 1921. Brillion Park Association sold the property to Hugo Muehlbach ca. 1932. He had the lagoon dug, and installed a baseball diamond on an adjacent parcel. In the early 1940s Muehlbach donated the ball field to the city of Brillion. He passed away in 1955 and left the remainder of the park to the city in his will. The bandshell (AHI #233580) was built in 1964. |
