Katie Dippel of the Research Center will present the Sheboygan County Fair – 175 years – In 1896, Plymouth residents took charge and the Sheboygan County Agricultural Association was organized, ending the soap opera. In 1897, the fair began its run in Plymouth at a new 23-acre site on the east side of the city. The centralized location on Fairview Drive was a boon to the success of the event, as merchants from all over the county travelled set up displays. Farm exhibitors showed keen interest by entering more animals and bigger vegetables each year. Plymouth seemed to be the perfect, and logical, location.

So many photos, so many stories.
