The region’s premier flea market is held on Mondays at the Mayfield-Graves County Fairgrounds, March through November, from 5:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (set-ups can begin at midnight).

Trade Days originally began as “Mule Days” in the 1800’s, when locals came to trade mules and equipment. Today, you’ll find a little bit of everything and some great bargains too!

The Revolutionary Threads Exhibit highlights an important aspect of the Revolutionary War soldiers’ wartime experience —what they wore to war. The exhibit illustrates and explains the designs, development, and diversity of the many uniforms worn by the soldiers during the War for Independence. Women patriots are represented as well-- from the women who fought on the battlefield to those who served as nurses, spies, and in domestic capacities. The experiences, ordeals, and service of members of Kentucky’s Gatliff Family demonstrate the difficulties of fighting the war on its western front on the Kentucky frontier and the personal impact on the soldiers and their families. In addition, a display of 20 battle flags represents some of the numerous regiments, militias, and other military units of the 13 colonies. Included are seven life-size mannequins dressed in period attire. Celebrate America's upcoming 250th Anniversary of Independence!
