The Columbia Park Band Shell was designated by the Historic Preservation Committee as a place of local historical significance in 2010. A plaque to indicate its listing on the Marshfield Municipal Register of Historic Places has been completed and will soon be placed on the band shell. A recognition celebration for its listing and recent renovations will be taking place some time this summer.
The Columbia Park Band Shell was built in 1931 and has been recently renovated. It was designed and built by Frank A. Felhofer and Sons in the Art Deco style. The band shell was originally used as the home of the 135th Medical Regiment Band, and it now serves the City of Marshfield for band concerts and public events. It is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places and with the Historical Society of Wisconsin.
