The Troy Farmers Club of Troy, Pennsylvania, was founded in 1874. The group met to discuss agriculture and horticulture subjects, and to hold an annual fair to encourage agriculture and horticulture.

According to letters found with the record books in the Everett Eugene Edwards Papers, these materials were loaned to the USDA Division of Statistical and Historical Research's Agricultural History Unit by Fred W. Card in 1941. Everett Edwards, agricultural economist, reviewed the record books, determined they were valuable, and suggested that Card donate them for historical preservation.
