Held on the site of the former Shawnee villages of Peckuwe, The Fair at New Boston transports you back in time to around 1790, when our area was still new to settlers.

The Fair at New Boston features artisans, merchants and entertainers as they would have appeared in that time period. And, of course, plenty of period food is available for purchase.

The 25th Annual Fair at New Boston was held September 1 & 2, 2007 and is presented by the George Rogers Clark Heritage Association.
