It was 1856 when a group of county residents got together to form the county fair, a place to feature the products of the farm, field, garden and home. With the donation of 10 acres of land on Marion’s East side, the first fair was held in 1857.
This 164-year-old fairgrounds boasts a grandstand, entertainment barn, horse arena, and 2 exhibit buildings.
