Each year the tiny, West Mason County town of Matlock welcomes the world to the Old Timer’s Historical Fair. Admission is free for this event; it is held the first weekend in May each year on the campus of Mary M. Knight School. The school is located at 2987 Matlock-Brady Rd., about five miles south of the Matlock store and 15 miles north of Highway 8. This year it will be held May 2-3rd with the doors open 9 AM to 6 PM on Saturday and 10 AM to 4 PM on Sunday. The fair provides fun for the whole family. Enjoy live music, delicious food (especially the homemade pies), historical displays, a variety of crafts and even an exhibit of an authentic Civil War era military camp. The fair celebrates Matlock’s heritage in the timber industry with draft horses, early day machines and motors, and blacksmithing. Additionally, there will be antique booths,
kids’ activities, hand-crafted items, historical events, agricultural events, food, a firewood raffle, prizes and live music. While most of the displays are inside and outside the school buildings, the adjacent museum is packed with historical displays. Including a room dedicated to John Tornow and the unsolved mystery of 107 years ago.
