The 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 six years ago as part of an effort to return the Northern Maine Fair to its agricultural and historic roots. Over thirty 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.
