Ye Old Mill at Kansas State Fair Could Be Demolished
After 84 years as a landmark ride, Ye Old Mill faces possible demolition under the Kansas State Fair Master Plan. The $34.5 million modernization would repurpose the site with shade trees and food booths. Fair officials cite renovation costs of up to $600,000 and a $160,000 demolition price, while supporters insist the ride should be preserved as part of fair history.
