Butler County Fair History and Early Fairs Record
The piece traces the Butler County Agricultural Society from its 1851 reorganization under state law to the first fairs in 1881. It details locations in Hamilton, development of exhibits, weather impacts, race events, notable speeches by William Bebl and others, and shifts of site from Hamilton streets to groves as the fair grew.
