Minnesota State Fair History up for Bidding at Memorabilia, Surplus Equipment Auction
The auction features over 100 historic items from the Minnesota State Fair, with starting bids at $1 and some items already exceeding $100 as of March 10.
- The Minnesota State Fair launched an online auction on Auction Masters that runs through Monday, March 16, 2026, with bids active as of March 11, 2026.
- Organizers said the sale helps clear storage and allows fair fans to own pieces of the fair, with many items fairgoers have walked past for years.
- Among standout lots, a vintage horse-drawn water wagon bids up to $900, a carousel horse has dozens of bids, and the sale includes 1950s-era Coliseum seating, vintage turnstiles, a rolling hospital bed, a 'snow lady' sculpture, and circus wagon wheels.
- Bids must be placed online at auctionmasters.com by 1 p.m. Monday, March 16, and winners will pick up items at the North End Events Center on March 17 with a forklift available 10 a.m.–2 p.m.
- As a broader trend, this is only the second time the fair has held an auction entirely online, offering collectors, decorators, businesses, and State Fair fans rare access to Minnesota history.
