Frampton Grove

[SIZE=+1][SIZE=+1]What started out as a picnic in 1877 to commemorate Commodore Perry's Victory on Lake Erie is now a seven-day event in old-fashioned Mercer County fair tradition.
The Transfer Harvest Home Fair, now in its 125th year, used to be a one-day Harvest Home Picnic held in Frampton Grove near the present location of the Shenango Dam, and was also near the Erie and Pennsylvania Railroad tracks, according to historical information by Janet Espey, 81, of Collins Drive in Greenville.
