Adjacent to this site stood a two-room school where the first Stone Age Fair was held on July 10, 11, and 12, 1934. In 1935, over 10,000 people from 41 states attended, President F. D. Roosevelt sent a congratulatory telegram, and Will Rogers sent $10 to help defray expenses. The fair was held at Cornish yearly until 1940, when it was moved to Loveland, Colorado, where it still continues each September. Its originators were Frieda and George Bowman, school teachers; Irene and Oscar Shirk; Doris and Bill Robbins; Ira Harris; Albert E. Spall; and 30 school students. Famous speakers at the Cornish fairs included Colorado Governor E. C. Johnson; C. C. Coffin and Roy Coffin, discoverers of the Lindenmeier Folsom site; and internationally known archaeologists Dr. E. Renaud, Dr. J. D. Figgins, Earl H. Morris, Dr. Marie Wormington, and Dr. Frank H. H. Roberts, Jr.
