On March 11, 1882, thirty-three years after the nation’s first state fair was held in Detroit, the Tuscola County Fair was organized as the Caro District Agricultural Association.

Always a primary agricultural attraction, the county fair has displayed new farming equipment and methods, animals, produce, and handicrafts on this site for the past century.
