Greenleaf Fair poster

Two women with sly smiles entice visitors to attend the Greenleaf Fair in 1888. That year’s fair was hosted by the Washington County Agricultural and Mechanical Association.

Fairs have been a mainstay in Kansas since before it was a state. Counties sought to draw in visitors with fair posters advertising races, grand exhibits, and livestock. To learn more about fair posters please visit: https://www.kshs.org/kansapedia/fair-posters/10124
