RAILROAD TOWN AGRICULTURAL FAIRRailroad Town is the living history part of Stuhr Museum, where costumed living historians invite the public to step back in time and experience life in the 1890s. Agricultural fairs are an exciting time for any agricultural community throughout history, and the residents can’t wait to show off their best work! Visit the exhibit tents, see ‘new’ technology being demonstrated, play carnival games, and maybe even catch a showing of Professor Lysander B. Jones’ Medicine Show and Musicale! Fair hours are 10 am – 5 pm on Saturday, Sept. 14 and 12 – 5 pm on Sunday, Sept. 16, 2023. |
