Bayliss Park & Veterans Plaza
1st Ave. & Pearl St. • Bayliss Park has
been a focal point of the downtown area
since Samuel S. Bayliss donated the 2.15
acres in 1853. The park received a facelift
and was rededicated in spring, 2007.
Veterans Plaza, dedicated July 4, 2003, was
sculpted by famed artist John Lajba. The
wall lists those who died or are missing in
action from the Civil War through Desert
Freedom. The fountain and surrounding
area were designed by sculptor Brower
Hatcher and landscaped by Dolores
Silkworth.
BAYLISS PARK
Broadway Fountain
Broadway & Pearl St. • The restored cast
iron fountain was built in New York in
1890 and was once the centerpiece of
Bayliss Park, the city’s oldest park. In May
2000, a dedication ceremony was held for
the completely refurbished “Old Rusty”.
An old-fashioned looking clock tower,
lampposts, and flowerbeds have since
joined the fountain area.

Chester French, who created
the seated statue of Abraham
Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial
in Washington, D.C., sculpted
a likeness of the angel in Mrs.
Dodge’s vision.

An 1883 report by the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
Railroad listed only four 30’ arch culvert bridges -- the
Shelby bridge was one of them and has been named the
first railroad structure built in Shelby County. Most railroad
bridges in Iowa were wood or timber, but limestone for the trestle was believed to
have come from a quarry in Earlham, Iowa, not far from the railroad’s main line in
that area.

Back Alley Barn Quilt Project
A fun project was begun in the spring of 2010 to
beautify the back alleys of downtown Walnut. Why the
alleys, you ask? Many of our customers must use the
alley ways to pick up their purchased items from the
shops. We realized that the alleys were somewhat of an
eyesore and decided a great way to brighten them up
would be to add some barn quilts and landscaping.
Burma Shave Signs Walnut
Our Iowa Magazine hatched a plan to erect a set of “Burma-Shave” signs in each
of Iowa’s 99 counties. Walnut was fortunate to have been chosen as the single set
of signs for Pottawattamie County. The signs have been installed on Antique City
Drive, which is the main thoroughfare from Interstate 80 into Walnut. Take a trip
through the 99 Iowa counties to discover each set of old-fashioned and nostalgic
“Burma-Shave” signs. We think that the signs will add to the fun that visitors to
Iowa can anticipate!!!

Eagles of Honor Project
Eagles of Honor are being sculpted
by Neola artist Russell Christensen.
Christensen and many towns across
Pottawattamie County have a vision
of showing thankfulness and pride by
creating a Veteran’s Monument in every
community. In stunning bronze, each
eagle is unique. Each monument is a
testament that our county is strong,
united, filled with hard working people
who appreciate freedom and want to
honor those who preserve freedom for
America. For more information, log onto
http://www.eaglesofhonorproject.com/
homepage.html. If you’d like to arrange a
bus tour of all the Eagles, please contact
the Council Bluffs Convention and Visitors
Bureau, 712-256-2577.
