Brookville's Grandstand

Brookville's grandstand was built in 1922 to seat 1,000 and serve fans of a new local semi-pro team, with twenty box seats helping pay for construction and a central platform used for community activities. The facility was later used for youth sports, and the structure was renovated in 1992 for the community's continuing use. Baseball had been played in Brookville since at least 1867, when local amateur teams played visiting teams from out of town. A local team joined the semi-pro Southern Indiana Baseball Association in 1922 and later played in other regional leagues. Amos and Mary Butler gave the land for the public park in 1907, and a wooden grandstand built there in 1914 seated 300.
