The WCHS Heritage Fair presents as a living history demonstration, the traditional skills and ways of doing things from early settlement in Warren County through the first half of the 20th century. It also promotes our county’s rich and varied historical resources, and the tools and products of our past. Our vendors are invited – not juried – and are traditional artisans, antique and collectible dealers, and local producers and specialty stores. Area not-for-profits, historical societies, and museums are also invited to participate with displays and promotional materials. In celebration of their 101st anniversary this year, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Warren County will be featured with displays and programs, highlighting the historically important role they have played in serving rural areas.
