Fairfield Museum and History Center
Fairfield Museum and History Center brings together people from across our regional community for a wide range of activities, from the serious to the fun. As a museum with rich historical resources and expertise, we use the past as a starting point for exploring and understanding current issues and questions. By bridging diverse experiences and perspectives, we work to cultivate a deeper sense of community identity and civic engagement.
History and the arts reflect the compelling stories of people and their experiences, which is relevant to our daily lives and to the future. We believe that cultivating a deeper appreciation of history is essential to building civic engagement, community pride and a powerful sense of place. We also believe that by bringing people together and creating opportunities for them to share their experiences and perspectives, we can create a more empathetic and equitable community.
