Attending a fair has been a fun activity for families, friends, and couples for many decades now. Fairs have been around for a long time, and they are only getting bigger and better with time. These days, fairs are bright, loud, and the food is getting pretty wild. Many of the classic fair games are the same as they were in the past, but even they have changed to be more technologically advanced now. State fairs, county fairs, and world fairs have captured the attention of people for years.

Things looked a lot different many decades ago. In the past, people dressed differently, the accessorized and traveled differently, and in general, the lives of people throughout the 1900s just appeared different. It's interesting to look back at some common activities in the past and think about how much things have changed.

Here, we have collected 25 images from people attending fairs in the past. These images showcase games, rides, and so much more from those who had a fun day out with friends and family at the fair.
