Memories from the Fair & Beyond
Fair History
Founded in 1855, the Winnebago County Fair began in Oshkosh, evolving through various locations and organizations. By 1872, it settled on 60 acres at Jackson Drive. Overcoming challenges like the 1885 tornado, the fair thrived. In 1910, it became the Winnebago County Fair Association, which continues to oversee it today.
