About Caldwell County Fair

The Caldwell County Fair in Kingston celebrates a small northwest Missouri county with deep Latter-day Saints history — Far West, Missouri was a major early settlement of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the 1830s before the Missouri Executive Order 44 led to the expulsion of the Mormon community. Today the county's cattle and grain farms support quiet rural communities in the Grand River watershed.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and the small-county community spirit of a northwest Missouri prairie county with a complex and fascinating religious history.

Visitor Tips

Kingston is a tiny county seat. Far West Historic Site preserves the remains of the early LDS settlement. The Grand River provides fishing, and the county's rural character has changed little since the agricultural settlement era of the mid-19th century.
