This is home to the oldest county fair in Illinois but it has only been in this location since 1951. The first fair took place in the Carlinville public square in 1852 and the fair was been held in several locations until 1929. Because of the great depression there was no fair in until 1938. The 1954 grandstand was razed and the current Grandstand was built in time for the 2003 fair.

It is on IL-4 (Route 66) just on the north side of town.
