Wisconsin State Fair Park

[1] It also contains venues such as the Milwaukee Mile, the oldest continuously operating motor speedway in the world, and the Pettit National Ice Center, a U.S. Olympic training facility which is independently owned.

In 1891, the Wisconsin Agricultural Society purchased almost 100 acres (40 ha) of farmland from George Stevens, in what was then North Greenfield (Honey Creek settlement), in order to secure a permanent site for the Wisconsin State Fair.

[3] The grounds of the State Fair, at the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources park site, contain one of only two Indian effigy mounds remaining in Milwaukee County.

Four pre-historic mounds originally populated the location, which were built by the Woodlands People from 100 to 1000 AD.

They contained artifacts dating to 8000 BC, some of which can be found at the West Allis Historical Museum.
