Unveils New Great Darke County Fair Exhibit
Many Darke County families have fond memories of the Darke County Fair.
Because the fair is an integral part of the county’s culture, the Garst
Museum has documented the history of the Great Darke County Fair in its
newest exhibit. The exhibit is a photo collage of fair activities,
entertainment, advertising, horseracing, and much more. The fair has
been a place to visit friends, show animals, ride the rides, eat the
food and enjoy the entertainment. As the county seat, Greenville was
selected for geographic reasons. Over the years, the fair has grown
into one of the premier county fairs in Ohio. Although much has
changed over the years, the fair continues to be a summer highlight
that brings people together from far and wide.
Marilyn Robbins and Nancy Stump were instrumental in collecting and
documenting the artifacts in the exhibit. The Garst Museum would like
to thank the donors that helped with this exhibit.
