History

When Sen. Harry S. Truman campaigned for re-election in a close 1940 primary, only two Democratic committeemen listened to him on the steps of the adjacent Wallace house as people hurried past on their way to the homecoming fair, even taking the Coca-Cola box he had stood on. Truman followed them to the fair. Less than five years later, this native Missourian became the 33rd U.S. President. The Crawford County fair, under various names, and 4-H are both century-old traditions of the community.
