Fairground photo 1926.

Post by John kuehn » Sun Mar 01, 2026 3:41 pm

This is supposed to be at the Rutland fairgrounds. But where. The photo is captioned 1926.
Looks like the cars were parked pretty well and tight. Is that some sort of track around it?

Looks like a race track with a grandstand on the left

It’s still there and looks like they are smoothing the track. Dirt track racing. Bet that track could tell a lot of stories after 100 years! Almost the same place where both photos were taken too.

It's good to see the track is still there, and that the background is NOT covered over with "development".
