The Alameda County Fairgrounds is a 270-acre facility located in Pleasanton that has hosted the annual Alameda County Fair since 1912, as well as numerous trade shows and community events. The Alameda County Fairgrounds is also home to the Pleasanton Fairgrounds Racetrack, which was built in 1858 and is the oldest one-mile horse-racing track in the United States. Other features at the grounds include the Amador Pavilion, a multi-purpose arena and livestock event facility; a 3,000-seat amphitheater, and a 9-hole golf course within the horse-racing track infield; and the Heathcote-MacKenzie House, also known as The Heritage House, which was built on the site of the fairgrounds around 1905. There is also a model train exhibit maintained by the Alameda County Central Railroad Society that has been at the Alameda County Fairgrounds since 1959.
