Floyd Bennett Memorial Bandstand
The bandstand at the Elm, Hudson, and Main Street intersection, is dedicated to the memory of the world-renowned aviation hero, Floyd Bennett.  Designer of the bandstand was Paul E. Gurney, architect, and a native of Warrensburgh.  the bandstand, erected in 1929, is Colonial in design to harmonize with the Merrill homestead and the Adirondack Hotel  (Colonial Arms), both adjacent to the square.  Its octagonal shape provides both beauty and a practical seating arrangement for band members.  Through the years, the traditional "concert in the park" has been provided by the Warrensburgh Town Band; a combined school band (Warrensburgh-Lake George-Luzerne) under the direction of Raymond R. Price; the Warrensburg Central School Band; and, for over a decade, the Glens Falls City Band.  The recent silence from the bandstand is dad...no classical strains of an overture, nor the stirring brass sounds of a Sousa march. ~Maria Fisher
