Visitor Tips
Arthur's sod building — the Pilgrim Holiness Church built from sod bricks — is a rare surviving example of Great Plains sod architecture. The surrounding Sandhills contain the world's largest stabilized dune system, a unique ecosystem supporting cattle ranching across millions of acres of grass-covered dunes.
What to Expect
Expect a small Sandhills gathering with livestock exhibits, 4-H competitions, and the authentic community spirit of one of Nebraska's most remote cattle ranching counties.
About Arthur County Fair
Held annually in Arthur, the Arthur County Fair celebrates one of the smallest county seats in the United States — Arthur, population under 150, is the governmental heart of a Nebraska Sandhills county so sparsely populated that its courthouse serves a few hundred ranching families spread across nearly a million acres of native grass.
