A beloved landmark to locals, the World’s Largest Round Barn was constructed in 1916 as a location to house purebred animals such as cows and horses. Measuring in at a diameter of 150 feet and a height of 70 feet, the barn stands as an icon and beacon of the Marshfield Fairgrounds. It is impressive, to say the least, as the whole barn makes zero use of any supporting beams with the exception of the cross beams situated underneath the barn’s cupola, making it an architectural feat. Visitors may arrange for a tour of the barn through the fair office, but the main attraction of the barn is the Central Wisconsin State Fair, a yearly fair that features gorgeous animals, entertaining shows, and great items for sale. Other fairs are also held at the barn throughout the year. The barn is also home to the Marshfield Curling Club and the Marshfield Area Ice Arena.
