About Arthur County Fair
The Arthur County Fair in Arthur 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.
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.
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.
