The existing Exhibition Hall was built in 1922 by the Stark County Automobile Dealers Association (32,000 square foot building) to exhibit the newest cars of the year. During World War II, the building was turned into a factory to make the molding for torpedo warheads. After the war, the hall was remodeled into
a roller rink where skaters enjoyed themselves into the mid-1970s.
