Fair Highlights

Expect a small fair with livestock exhibits, 4-H competitions, rodeo events, and the authentic frontier spirit of one of America most remote ranching counties.

Planning Your Visit

Murdo is famous for the Pioneer Auto Museum with an extraordinary collection of vintage automobiles. The surrounding short-grass prairie is prime pronghorn antelope habitat. Jones County has fewer than 1,000 residents spread across nearly 1,000 square miles.

A Closer Look

Held annually in Murdo, the Jones County Fair celebrates South Dakota least populous county — a vast short-grass prairie and badlands county where cattle ranching on native grass sustains one of the most sparsely populated communities in the United States.
