Kimbro Plaza is located on the corner of S.E. Washington and N. Central, next to a building which was once the Lyric Theater. The plaza has a wrought iron fence along the curbs. At the east end is a lovely stone fountain, with bench seating. At the southwest corner is a centennial town clock.

The brick wall of the former Lyric Theater on the north is painted in a mural depicting an Indian brave on horseback standing in the setting sun.

On the tall stone wall behind the fountain is a bronze dedication plaque which reads:
