Album Description
Depending where you live/teach, either most of your students went to a county fair over the summer or else they've never even been to such an event. This album features photos from the 1940s from county fairs. You can use these photos to talk about change over time with students familiar with these events, or you can use these photos to introduce the history and idea of such an important part of the culture in many parts of the country.Reference link: http://www.loc.gov/resource/fsa.8c13940/
