Wed., Oct. 15, 1856
The Cumberland County Agricultural Fair opened in the morning. Student Horatio Collins King (Class of 1858) described the fair in his journal: "Very good exhibition. A fine show of home manufactures, and such like. Vegetables were necessarily very scarce. Agricultural implements, fancy inventions, fine horses, cows, oxen &c. also chickens with Shang-hair and prilled, white, black and speckled adorned the premises."
