The Fairview School opened its door to the first class of students in the fall of 1873. On hundred forty-three years later, this treasured little country schoolhouse was moved to the Wabash Depot Historical Complex to begin its second life as an educational exhibit, enabling new generations of students and visitors to share a glimpse into the past.
