| | Allentown Fairgrounds Farmers Market - Allentown, Pennsylvania |
 | | In Allentown, the farmer's market tradition goes back to the early part of the century, when the "Morning Market" opened at the corner of 8th and Gordon Streets. |
 | | The bigger market, housed in the brick exhibition hall built on the fairgrounds in 1911, brought together merchants and farmers to sell their wares, from produce to meat, tools, clothing and gardening supplies. |
 | | The founders of the Fairground Farmers Market, John Devlin and Willard Kistler, who were local businessmen, and John Wetzel, a farmer, envisioned the market as a place where shoppers could buy all they needed under one roof. |
