About Us

In 1932, the family of Wilson Brewer conveyed a nine-acre tract from the Brewer homestead to the City of Webster City in exchange for the promise to forever preserve the land, its buildings and any subsequent additions in the name of the Wilson Brewer Park. The City accepted the Brewer family proposal and has owned and maintained the Park these past 85 years. During this time, a cabin, a one-room country school house, a prairie country church, Hamilton County’s first courthouse and the Illinois Central Railroad Depot have been relocated on the Park’s premises.

​

The Park is currently going through a restoration and preservation effort led by the Wilson Brewer Park Foundation Board. Our active projects include:

• Work on the Church's entrance for ADA compliance

• Restoring the exterior of the depot

• Adding a deck to the depot

• Adding restrooms to the park. 

Your support is welcome and needed.

The Wilson Brewer Park is open May 1 – November 1 with the following hours:

Friday | 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Saturday | 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm
