The Fair
The Marshall County Fair, based in Marysville, celebrates a northeast Kansas county famous for its Pony Express history — Marysville was a major Pony Express station, and the county's grain and livestock farming in the Big Blue River valley come together at a fair celebrating both the agricultural heritage and the pioneering history of the Oregon and California trails country.
What You'll Find There
Highlights include livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, local food vendors, and a community fair honoring the agricultural traditions of a northeast Kansas county with deep connections to American westward expansion history.
Local Tips
Marysville's Pony Express Home Station No. 1 Museum and the Black Squirrel population (a local curiosity and mascot) define the city's character. The Big Blue River valley's agricultural land is some of northeast Kansas's most productive.
