Looking for Tuscarawas County Fair memorabilia

The Tuscarawas County Fair is celebrating 175 years!! We need resident’s help collecting historical photos and information. We are looking for photos taken during fair time or of the fair grounds (with or without people). It is helpful to have years and people identified if possible. Factual history about the fairgrounds, the fair event, 4-H, Grange and others involved are welcome.

The Tuscarawas County Historical Society & Dover Historical Society are collecting items; you can choose to take your items to be scanned and retain the original or donate them completely.  The Historical Society will retain all items in their safe keeping as part of the Tuscarawas County Fair history collection.

To donate items, visiting the following locations:
Tuscarawas County Historical Society located at Kent State Tusc Campus Achieve Room (located near the Student Union in Founders Hall)
Open Monday, Wednesday & Friday; 8a – Noon

Dover Historical Society Archives, located in the Local History Room of the Dover Public Library.
Open Tuesday & Thursday, 10a – 2 p.
If you are donating all your items they can be left with the front desk at the Dover Library.

If you wish to have your items scanned in and retain them, please be sure to visit during the posted hours.  Kim will scan them on site so you can leave with your items.
