Sanitary Fair

Sanitary Fair
A special building was constructed in the shape of a Greek cross on Public Square in Downtown Cleveland to hold the Sanitary Fair. The fair proved very successful, raising over $100,000 for the Soldiers' Aid Society. Admission to the fair was $.25 and additional funds were raised for the society in various auctions. The fair's exhibits included floral, artistic, and war-souvenir displays. This pamphlet advertised the fair which was held from February 22 to March 10, 1864. | Date: 1864 | Source: Western Reserve Historical Society
