| The
Lake County Fairgrounds Since 1852,
The Lake County Fairgrounds of Crown Point, Indiana have been the proud site for the Lake
County Fair. In early August, as it has for many years, the fairgrounds welcome thousands
of visitors. The fairgrounds provide an attractive setting: historic brick exhibition
buildings (see photo), tree covered hills, rambling walking paths, Lake County’s only
covered bridge (see photo on this page), and a historic grandstand near the swimming area.

Directions
to the Fairgrounds
From the Crown Point Square, go south on Court Street
about one mile. The fairgrounds are on the west
side.
The Old Covered Bridge (1878)
Lake County’s Only Covered Bridge
The historic covered bridge is displayed so
fittingly in the heavily wooded Lake County Fairgrounds, one would think it was built just
for that spot. Though now nestled in an eye-pleasing setting and used to span a gully, the
covered bridge was moved in 1933 from Rush County (in southern Indiana). Originally
built in 1878, the covered bridge continues to please those who cross it.
