This lithograph poster advertises the 1919 Great Milton Fair. The poster was produced by Hayes Lithographing Company, which also produced many books in the early 1900's.
The Milton fairgrounds were located in the northern limits of the borough of Milton. The grounds consisted of grandstands, a dirt race track, a judge's tower, stables, livestock show buildings, exhibit buildings, and an administrative building. On September 30, 1925, a group of arsonists set fire to the fairgrounds. All the structures were destroyed and were never rebuilt.
This pennant celebrates the Great Milton Fair of 1915. During the early 1900's, the Great Milton Fair was hosted every fall in northern Milton. Festivities included multiple days of dirt-track horse races. The last fair was held in 1925.
