About Stewart County Fair

Stewart County is where Tennessee history was made at Fort Donelson — where General Ulysses S. Grant's demand for "unconditional and immediate surrender" earned him his famous "Unconditional Surrender Grant" nickname and opened the Tennessee River Valley to Union forces in 1862 — in a Middle Tennessee county now anchored by Land Between the Lakes recreation area.

What to Expect

Livestock and agricultural shows, 4-H exhibits, carnival rides, community food vendors, and local entertainment celebrating Stewart County's Middle Tennessee farming heritage alongside the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area.

Visitor Tips

Dover is the Stewart County seat. Fort Donelson National Battlefield is one of the Civil War's most important sites, and Land Between the Lakes offers exceptional outdoor recreation — an outstanding combined visit with the county fair.
