Outside of the educational exhibits building, you'll find a Stuart Line Tank.
Displayed are artifacts and memorabilia that fairgoers can look at to honor the lives of those who helped create the tanks.
The Stuart Tank Memorial Association aims to bring to light more about the rich history of the area surrounding the fairgrounds.
David Kovach, President of the Stuart Tank Memorial Association:
This is a Stuart Light Tank, one of the fifteen thousand built at the Berwick ACF, for World War II. There were over nine thousand workers that came from one hundred and seventy-seven communities to help build those tanks in the war effort.

The association will be featured this November in Philadelphia's Veteran's Day parade.
