Wilson Field, home of Stahl Post #30 sponsered baseball team.

The field was dedicated to Howard Wilson who did all the heavy equipment work for the field when it was built. He owned Wilson Construction located near Station 32 WMFC near the 13/40 split in Black Cat.  When they built the pavillion at the field they named it Dutch Pavillion after Dutch Flickinger a very tireless worker at the field.
