2017 Kiwanis Ogeechee Fair: Renovations to old memories
Aldrich House is a testament to the past
W 101717 FAIR TALMAGE HOUSE 01
Visitors mill about on the port of the old Aldrich house during 2017 Kiwanis Ogeechee Fair Tuesday.
Its dedication to agricultural history is one of the Kiwanis Ogeechee Fair’s most unique characteristics, and the fairgrounds would not be complete without the rustic Aldrich House and its barnyard attractions. The house, which was moved to the grounds several decades ago after owner Monroe Aldrich struck a deal with the Kiwanis Club to take and preserve the log house, stands among echoes of the past. Even today, member of the Aldrich family reminisce as they visit the fair.
