A number of large families homesteaded this area and in 1908 established Fairview School, a one-room building at this site. Five Years later, it burned, so the community built a new school and added two out houses and a coal building. After 1945, due to consolidation, students attended the Nicodemus School in town so Fairview School closed. Families moved the building to town next to School District #1 to provide additional classroom space.In the picture, Hattie Craig and her pupils depict the wide age range of the children attending Fairview School in 1915.
