Marshall County Fairgrounds
Location: Marshalltown, IAMarshall County fairgrounds, off E. Main Street.
A 1921 map shows a diamond within the infield of a racetrack; the grandstand runs parallel to the track. Fans would have thus been across the track from the action. The legend on the map notes that the site was used as a ballpark during the summer, and as a county fair for one week a year.
Used by: Marshalltown Grays, Marshalltown Brownies, Marshalltown Snappers, Marshalltown Ansons
