Buildings at Bismarck Grove.

Bismarck Grove buildings served fairs, chautauquas, and reunions. The first view looks from the southwest area of Bismarck Grove toward the northwest. The house hidden in the trees is close to where the Tabernacle was located. The small building in the right foreground was a ticket office. The large building at the far rear was the County Display building and was built in the form of a Greek cross.

The second photo is looking to the southeast from the roof of the stables in 1912..
