WELCOME

The Fairfield Area Historical Society  was created to help preserve and protect Fairfield's historical heritage. The Historical Society intends to identify and acquire artifacts and information of historical significance to the Fairfield area.
Finally, after not being able to present programs in 2020, we were able to present the "Covered Bridges of Adams County" in July.  Donn King presented the 24 covered bridges that existed in 1952, of which, sadly to say only 4 remain standing.  Donna provided detailed information on location and statistics on each bridge as well as special interest stories.  She also brought her collection of bridge related articles and collectibles.  Thank you to Seth of Fairfield Auto Service who sponsored the program!
