Carlton County Fair
August 19 - 22, 2027
The Carlton County Historical Society operates three buildings on the fairgrounds: our large agricultural history (AKA machinery) building, where we have merchandise for sale, displays of early farming equipment, transportation, tools, and more.
​
You will also want to visit our living history farmhouse and barn to watch costumed interpreters demonstrate quilting, cooking on a wood stove, and daily life in the early 1900s.
Timeless Fair Fun
The Carlton County Fair has brought neighbors together for generations, celebrating the people, traditions, and rural roots that make our community special.
Explore these historic photos for a glimpse of fair days gone by and the memories that continue to connect us today.
Agricultural History Building
The Agricultural History building is located near the entrance to the grandstands. It houses a variety of farming equipment, horse-drawn carriages, and tools.
​
This is where we sell our barn calendars, memberships, and books. In this building, we would like volunteers to sell these items, and encourage visitors to look around. If you have knowledge of farming equipment, your knowledge would be priceless to us and to our visitors!
Log Cabin & Barn
The log cabin and barn is located near the entrance to the rides and games. The cabin is decorated like a 1910 farmhouse.
Volunteers have the opportunity to dress up in costume and tell stories to visitors, play music on the front porch, or show visitors a craft such as woodcarving, knitting, weaving, sewing, spinning wool, etc. If you have any of these talents, we would love to have you there!
