While You’re at the Fulton County Fair, Stop In and See a Piece of Swancreek Township History!
Did you know the Fulton County Township Association building at the fairgrounds has deep roots right here in Swancreek Township?
The building dates back to the late 1800s, probably around 1880, and originally stood at the corner of Fulton County Road D and Swancreek Township Road 5 1. For many years, it served as Swan Creek District #10 School House, educating generations of local children.
When the school moved to a more modern facility, the building began a new chapter. In 1939, it became the home of the Swancreek Township Trustees and also served as one of the township’s voting precincts into the late 1950s.
In October 2001, the Swancreek Township Trustees gave the historic building to the Fulton County Historical Society. It was moved to the Fulton County Fairgrounds in January 2002, where it remains today, preserving a piece of our township’s history for future generations.
If you’re visiting the Fulton County Fair this week, stop by the Fulton County Township Association building, take a look around and see a little piece of Swancreek Township history for yourself.
From a one room schoolhouse, to a township hall, to the fairgrounds, this building has been part of our community for nearly 150 years!
