The Muscatine County Historic Preservation Commission received a grant from the State of Iowa to study the fairgrounds in 2014.

[4] The Union District Agricultural Society began holding fairs in southwest Cedar County in 1863, and transferred them to West Liberty in 1871.

The West Liberty Park Association was established three years later and bought the first 31 acres (13 ha) for the society in 1875.

County fairs in rural areas were a showcase of livestock, agricultural products, home economics, and craftwork.
