First county fair 117 years ago The first county fair in Kosciusko county was held in Warsaw 117 years ago. The site was the yard of the county courthouse. Agriculture was the main theme of the fair which was sponsored by the county agriculture society. A site was purchased on the northwest outskirts of Warsaw. The land was fenced, cleared and improved with the total cost being SBOO. The fair was held on this six acres from 1857 until 1860. At that time it was felt additional land should be purchased to allow horse racing to be added to the program. On May 18,1861 ten acres were purchased in eastern Warsaw for SI,OOO. On the same day the old site was sold for S6OO. The buildings and fencing were irioved from the old grounds and several new buildings were put up as well. On October 2, 3 and 4 the first fair was held on the new grounds. Five additional acres were purchased in 1874 and the track was enlarged to half-mile. The county agriculture society seemed to be in trouble financially most of the time because the fairs did not pay. Soon it was hopelessly in debt and after the fair of 1885 the organization decided to sell the fairgrounds and discontinue the fair. Ironically as it may seem this final fairground was located between Scott, Center and Bronson streets and the Pennsylvania railroad, just a short distance from the present fairgrounds.
