Long Description:
To see this amphitheater, take a walk down Reservoir Drive. There
you will find the natural amphitheater, and the Highland Bowl on
your left. Many special performances and events during the summer
months are held here. There is a statue of Frederick Douglass
overlooking the amphitheater and this block of Highland Park is
known as "Frederick Douglass Square". Frederick Douglass, famous
for his diligence to abolish slavery, was important to the history
of Rochester as he owned a home just down the street from this park
and upon his death in Feb. 1895, he was buried nearby in Mount Hope
Cemetery. I was not able to find any signs indicating the name of
this bandshell, however, some internet research turned up the name
of "Highland Bowl Amphitheater".
