Madison County Fairgrounds Through the Years
The Fremont Fair Association purchased the almost 30-acre parcel for the Madison County Fairgrounds in August of 1911. The first fair was held September 19-21, 1911. At that time, there was a half-mile horse race track that was used. The total investment of the Fairgrounds was $15,000.00.
When Madison County was created in 1913, the Fairgrounds became property of Madison County.
New corrals were built in June of 1945, along with grandstand repairs. A 20-stall barn was built on the Fairgrounds in October of 1945 to accommodate the local community who needed a place to board their horses.
