Hanscom Park was established in 1872 and is Omaha's oldest still existing park. It is named after Andrew J. Hanscom who, along with James G. Megeath, donated the 57.5 acres of land that constitute the grounds of the park. The pavilion was added to the park in the years 1889-1890, along with a bandstand, a greenhouse, two lakes, and several fountains, flower beds, and trees. Source: Maddox, Deborah Deitering.
