About Lafayette County 4-H & FFA Fair
The Lafayette County Fair in Lexington celebrates the antebellum river town where Missouri hemp and tobacco were loaded onto steamboats — Lexington was a major Civil War battle site and one of Missouri's most elegant river towns, and the county's Missouri River bottom farms and historical heritage come together at a fair with deep roots in the antebellum tradition. The area's broader history includes notable events and landmarks dating to 1849.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, local food vendors, and a fair honoring both the agricultural productivity of the Missouri River bottoms and the historical significance of one of Missouri's most culturally rich river counties.
Visitor Tips
Lexington's 1849 courthouse with the cannonball still embedded in its column from the 1861 Battle of Lexington is a living Civil War monument. The Anderson House (1853) and the Battle of Lexington State Historic Site preserve the county's remarkable Civil War heritage.
