Step 200 years back in time at the Annual Fair at New Boston on Sept 1 & 2. This nationally recognized event promises Colonial Era fun for the entire family. Everything about this Fair creates the illusion of time travel to 1790 - 1810. Chat with George Rogers Clark , Daniel Boone, Simon Kenton, and other frontier heroes. The music, entertainment, clothing, foods served, shops, and tools used by the artisans are juried (or judged) to assure authenticity to the time period. Join the audience and share in the hearty laughter at Cheapside. Explore the marketplace and unique shops. Join in an 18th century dance. Relax in a colonial tavern while listening to music of the era. Thrill to the boom of the full-sized Revolutionary War cannon. Each day ends with the excitement of a battle reenactment with cannon! The Fair is held in historic George Rogers Clark Park, just west of Springfield on State Route 4. Gates will open at 10 a.m. - and close at 6 p.m., rain or shine. Admission is $8 for adults, $3 for children aged 6-11, and ages 5 and under are admitted free. Admission for military active duty is $5 with ID. Parking is free and plentiful.
