The view looks across a blue lagoon toward a long, low pavilion with a screened veranda and a chimney, set on a grassy slope among trees in autumn color. Benson Park was a streetcar-era amusement park in the Benson neighborhood of north Omaha, laid out in the 1880s with a lagoon, pavilion, and picnic grounds. The scene shows the park's landscaped, recreational side, with the pavilion and water serving as gathering places for visitors.
