Fun Facts

The Lake County Fair, held annually at the fairgrounds in Crown Point, has been a tradition since 1852, making it one of the longest-running county fairs in the state.

The fairgrounds are home to the historic 4-H building, which was constructed in 1928 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Beyond hosting the annual fair, the grounds feature a variety of facilities used for agricultural shows, concerts, and community gatherings throughout the year.

The Lake County Fairgrounds serves as an educational hub, offering programs and workshops in agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry for local youth and adults.

During the Civil War, the site where the fairgrounds now stand was used as a training camp for Union soldiers.

The fairgrounds are set amidst a picturesque landscape that includes several walking trails and picnic areas, providing a serene escape for visitors.
