The Music Man Square is a streetscape in the heart of Mason City that celebrates and honors the life of Mason City’s favorite musical son, Meredith Willson. The streetscape is an exact duplicate of the street scene from the 1962 Warner Bros. motion picture, The Music Man, which made Meredith Willson famous. The Meredith Willson Museum features an array of exhibits that tell the story of the musician, and his rise to fame after the movie, and the history of music. Next door to the museum is the beautifully restored 1895 Queen Anne house, which was the birthplace and boyhood home of the renowned musician and can be explored on guided tours.
