Back When Fair at Arab Historic Village

Come hear the stories of what life was like way “back when” & join in on all the fun with vendors, food, entertainment & more! Visitors get to interact with volunteers as they demonstrate tasks that were necessary back in the early 1900’s to be a successful farming community; quilting, grinding cornmeal and blacksmithing were certainly among the list.

In the 1935 Hunt School, you’ll get a glimpse of what it was like to go to school “back when.” Then you’ll need a break, so stop by Smiths’ Country Store and try your luck at a game of Checkers (against an opponent that’s been playing the game for decades)
