About the Building!

The Heritage Building was built in 1916. The building was used for poultry exhibits until the new poultry building was built around 1980 give or take a year. It was then used for open class arts and crafts exhibits before being boarded up in the 1980’s. It was used as a storage building until 2002 when a group got together to restore the building back to its original condition. The building began it’s transformation in 2002 and was open for the 2003 fair.
