Brooks Memorial Fountain — Attraction in Marshall

I love fountains, especially this one! With water displays by day and light displays by night, this fountain lies at the very heart of Marshall. The fountain was given to the city of Marshall as a gift from Mayor Harold Brooks, who named the landmark after his father. The fountain is located in a small city park inside a roundabout. Some of the historic buildings that surround the park is the Honolulu House - the pride of Marshall! The National House Inn - the oldest and longest running bed and breakfast, built by Colonel Mann in the 1830s. The Crary School, now condominiums and is very very creepy at night! City Hall is there too and has an amazing bell that sounds every hour. Also, there is a mural of Marshall nearby, which if you have a selfie-stick is perfect for some family photos. The fountain also serves as a kind of landmark gateway that introduces you to historic downtown and an icon to the city itself. So when in Marshall, coming to Brooks...

A beautiful, piecefull, well-kept, clean place to relax and listen to the water in the fountain flow, along with many different sounds out in the community. The City of Marshall, really does a great job keeping the area nicely trimmed and taken care of, free of debris. Can definitely tell that everyone really respects and loves this entire community, the many special landmarks, businesses, beautiful landscaping all throughout the town...

In the middle of a busy road

Not much to look at, this fountain in the middle of the town round-about has nothing to offer. I would like history or something more as to why this is here. It is not even peaceful to sit at and enjoy because the cars drive all around the circle. One positive is it is clean and I'm sure it has meaning to the people...
