Meadow Event Park

Previously called the Meadow Stables, the park hosts the annual State Fair of Virginia.

The park was the birthplace of famous Thoroughbred racing horse Secretariat, 1973 Triple Crown champion.

The history of The Meadow dates back to 1805, when Dr. Charles D. Morris purchased 4,000 acres (16 km2) of land which served as his family's home for the next 100 years.

[3] The Meadow's history includes the African American grooms that are mentioned in the National Park Service application.

[citation needed] Meadow Farms and Secretariat are also recognized by an official roadside historic marker from the State of Virginia.
