The Fair At New Boston is a recreation of a trade fair from 1790. It features artisans, merchants and entertainers as they would have appeared in that time period

This year's fair also included voting in the Presidential Election of 1800, in which Thomas Jefferson defeated incumbent President John Adams.

The 26th Annual Fair at New Boston was held August 30 and 31, 2008 at George Rogers Clark Park and is presented by the George Rogers Clark Heritage Association.
