Pavilion Chair:
Kevin McCartneyThe Historical Pavilion is an annual 4-day exhibit in the large Forum Building at the Northern Maine Fair, in which many historical societies and family collections from Northern Maine are combined into a great exhibition of regional history. The Historical Pavilion began five years ago as part of an effort to return the Northern Maine Fair to its agricultural and historic roots. Twenty-Six historical displays (see list below) are expected at this year's Pavilion, making it easily the largest assemblage of historical artifacts in Northern Maine. Visitors pay a $6 fee to get into the fairgrounds but pay no additional charge to enter the Historical Pavilion.
