In addition to paid admission to the fair, visitors also receive complimentary admission to the entire Wade House Historic Site, including a horse-drawn carriage ride from the historic area to the Wade House Visitor Center and Wesley W. Jung Carriage Museum; a tour of the stately 27-room stagecoach hotel; a trip to the Herrling Sawmill, where they can see and feel the rumble of a reciprocating, water-powered saw; and a visit to the blacksmith shop.
