( visit link) "The Village Green is an attractive centerpiece to the Village of Bainbridge, located at the corner of East and South Main streets. From Memorial Day until early November, every Saturday morning, flea market vendors come to the Green, bringing an ever-changing selection of goods for bargain shoppers. This well-landscaped space provides a gathering place for other events as well and a focal point for the town. It is the center of the Village’s large Memorial Day celebration...This common area was first laid out in 1875 and embellished with trees and shrubbery to establish an ornamental park. The distinctive fountain was added around 1900 along with the soldier’s monument. Other noted features of the park include a classic white gazebo that hosts concerts by the Bainbridge Old Time Band in the summer and monuments to the Vietnam War, the Korean War, and World Wars I and II."
