The Fair
The Ross County Fair in Chillicothe draws from one of Ohio's most historically significant regions — the first and third capital of the state — and has been a community tradition since 1845. The fair traces back to 1845, making it one of Ohio's longest-running agricultural traditions. Harness racing draws a strong following at the fair.
Local Tips
Combine the fair with a trip to see Tecumseh!, the outdoor drama performed each summer at Sugarloaf Mountain Amphitheatre.
