Legacy Projects

Adams County Fair Heritage Farms Pavilion

The Heritage Farm Pavilion will be located at the Adams County Fairgrounds commemorating the Bicentennial. This pavilion will honor Adams County’s agricultural roots, specifically recognizing heritage farms that have been owned and operated by the same family for 150 years or more. The pavilion will not only serve as a lasting tribute to the region’s agricultural heritage but also provide a space for community gatherings and events. It will house a monument to these historic farms, ensuring their legacy is celebrated for generations to come. The pavilion will be a place where the community can come together, reflect on the county’s agricultural traditions, and create new memories.
