Walhalla Mountaineer Brass Band Rotunda
Isolated in the mountains and with a township all too familiar with toil and struggle, Walhalla needed a venue for folk to relax and unwind. Thus, the town’s rotunda was built in 1896 and became a centrepoint of entertainment. People would come to hear the Mountaineer Brass Band, which was a regular feature act on a Saturday night when all the shops were open. The frequency and energy of entertainment centred around Walhalla’s rotunda may have waned, but the rotunda remains as a focus of attention for the tourist.
