The Crookwell Showground was established in its present location in 1927, in time for Crookwell's Jubilee Show which was held in conjunction with its "Back to Crookwell" festivities, opened by the Governor of the day, Sir Dudley De Chair.
The inaugural Crookwell Show was held in 1879, on a sight that is now Crookwell High School. Between this site and the current site, the show was held succesfully for several years at a site near the Crookwell Hospital on Kiala Rd. It took 10 months for a team of volunteers to dismantle all the facilities at that site, including the pavillion and 200 seat grandstand, and reconstruct these at the current site.
The mission statement for the Crookwell AP & H Society is "To aim to serve and enrich the people of Crookwell and the Surrounding Districts by showcasing the agriculture and live stock resources and the endeavours of its people."
The facilities at Crookwell Showground are first class, and includes the pavillion, water reticulation, jockey's room, race track, cloakroom, bandstand, publican's room, and the cattle yards and sheep pens, where the cache is hidden.
