Photo of the Cookstown Fairgrounds entrance in 1973. The fairgrounds, located in the north-east quarter of the town, held the first fair in September of 1909, although fairs had been held in Cookstown since 1858. The fairgrounds themselves consisted of covered bleachers and a race track with additional sheds and a grandstand being built in later years. In 2006 the land was sold to the Town of Innisfil to facilitate building the Cookstown branch of the Innisfil Public Library. This colour image shows the stone entrance gates flanking the dirt road leading into the fairgrounds.
