A Closer Look

Eleanor is home to the Putnam County Fair, which is one of the largest and most attended county fairs in the Mountain State, drawing visitors from the Charleston metro area and the rapidly growing communities of Putnam County each July.

Fair Highlights

Expect livestock and poultry shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, carnival rides, live entertainment, demolition derby, and a full midway with food vendors serving the diverse communities of this fast-growing county.

Planning Your Visit

Eleanor sits just west of Charleston along the Kanawha River — Beech Fork State Park, the West Virginia State Farm Museum in Point Pleasant, and downtown Charleston's cultural offerings are all within easy reach.
