Local photographer Trent Albert captured this snapshot of antique farm machinery at the 1992 Porter County Fair.
The annual Porter County Fair is the oldest and largest event we have here; it’s so familiar that it is sometimes taken for granted. Since the first fair in 1851, the institution has weathered its fair share of storms to cultivate an environment where families can come and grow together. Its long-standing traditions have been hard-won and dearly-held, carefully passed down from generation to generation.
This exhibit, Our Heart of Hearts: The Porter County Fair, reveals a remarkable story that spans 175 years. It is told largely through the snapshots and oral histories of some of the fair’s most dedicated caretakers.
Stop in with family and friends to see our newest featured exhibit!
