To visit....

In Brown County, a visitor could easily spend an afternoon touring the old Wabash Railway Depot Museum. There are displays of not only railroad memorabilia, but military, medical, and antique tool displays. Nearby the Depot Museum is a beautifully restored one-room school building that houses many memories. Other attractions for visitors include community festivals in Mt. Sterling and Versailles, Wolf Ridge Pumpkin Patch, and the Scarecrow Festival which have all become a focus of community activity.

Attending the Brown County Fair is a must for anyone visiting Brown County during the last week of July each year. This county has the oldest continuous Fair in the state of Illinois and is currently the only country fair in the state to offer pari-mutuel betting on its traditionally competitive harness races. Grand National Tractor Pulling is also a yearly feature of the Fair.
