Floral Hall Renovation Underway At Mercer County Fairgrounds

Work is underway to restore Floral Hall at the Mercer County Fairgrounds.

The building, which was constructed in 1882, was decommissioned and set to be demolished in 2023 before a donor came forward to save it.

Crews began working to repair the structure last week.

Mercer County Fair Board President Rita Williams says the 143-year-old building is important to local history.

Williams says there’s currently not a timeline for the project to be completed, but notes Floral Hall will not be open for the 2026 Mercer County Fair.
