The Fairburn Museum is the old Public School building.  Like with any small town museum the stories and items inside have real meaning.

There are 3 rooms total in this building.  The 2 classrooms and the gym.  It is actually pretty impressive for how small it is.  There isn’t much in the gym.  I think they use it for events still.

There are agates from the area which is rocks you can only find in the area.  They really cool with neat designs.

My favorite item in the museum is the mountain lion shot by a local woman with a .22 right outside her ranch house.
