In regards to the July 20th 1902 flood. Here are two of 5 photos I have. The others I'll post later on. Taken by N.W. Carey during the afternoon of July 20th, almost 115 years ago. Grove and Broad.

Back when my Grandfather Holdridge was in the Used Car business c. 1950s, (Pegg Road was still called "East River Road" then). He sold a Ford F1 panel truck to some guys that insisted they wanted to keep the post mounted spotlight on it, and because of that they got pulled over on their way downstate by police looking for deer jackers, and found the van loaded with moonshine."

This of course is the oldest building, just not original to the fairgrounds, being relocated from up rt 51 in Burlington, and moved around 1982? to Morris. Formerly the Town of Burlington District Number Nine School.

Came from Curtis Ackerman's farm on State Rt.51 between Garrattsville and West Burlington
The horse stables, since moved from where it stood about where you cross the present racetrack, and altered for a sheep barn, one of the older buildings on the fairgrounds, it's upstairs floor (hayloft) removed.
