This poster is from the 1885 Indiana State Fair, located in the area bounded by 19th Street, Talbott Street, 22nd Street, and Central Avenue. The fairgrounds were first located here in 1859. Around 15,000 men were detained in this area when it was used as Camp Morton, a prisoner-of-war camp during the Civil War. In 1873, a new exposition building (pictured) was constructed.
