The Emsdale Agricultural Society began back in 1889 (then known as the Perry Township Agricultural Society). We are proud of our rich history, having been a integral part of the development of the rural area. As a member of the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies we encourage everyone, young and old, to celebrate rural agriculture and farming as a vital part of Ontario’s past, present and future.
