The Barnstable County Agricultural Society held its first fair, consisting primarily of livestock and handcraft exhibits, in October of 1844 at the County Court House in Barnstable Village.
By the late 1800s and early 1900s, the County Fair had become the most popular annual event on Cape Cod. Some of the attractions were Grange exhibits, trotting horses, sulky racing, vaudeville acts, motorcycle racing, livestock exhibits, horse and oxen drags, fireworks and food tents, featuring clam chowder, homemade doughnuts and pies, and coffee, sponsored by local organizations. The childrens Day and the Salt Hay Stack at the East Sandwich Grange were annual favorites.
Two of the most successful and colorful Fairs recorded during that period were the Fairs of 1899 and 1920.
