“260-acre Piedmont Virginia fairground — permanent exhibition buildings, Equicenter with equestrian arenas, livestock barns, grandstand, and the pastoral Virginia horse-country landscape of the Meadow Farm (birthplace of Secretariat)”
About
The Meadow Event Park in Doswell, Virginia carries extraordinary historical weight — it is the site of The Meadow Farm, birthplace of Secretariat. The 260-acre campus now hosts the Virginia State Fair alongside year-round equestrian and agricultural events. The Equicenter's arenas and stabling, the grandstand, permanent exhibition halls, and livestock facilities are set on rolling Virginia Piedmont farmland — pastoral, lush, and cinematically rich. The horse-country landscape of Hanover County (hunt clubs, tobacco barns, historic farms) extends for miles around the property. Virginia's film incentive program is active, and the Richmond metro area (30 minutes south) provides full production infrastructure. For equestrian drama, period Americana, or any story rooted in the mid-Atlantic agricultural South, this is an exceptional location.
