Fairbury City Museum
The mission of the Fairbury City Museum is to preserve, display
and promote the history of Fairbury as well as Jefferson County. The Fairbury City Museum has a very impressive inventory of period
items that have been donated by friends and families of the community.
The Fairbury City Museum, once housed in a tiny storefront on the
west side of the downtown square, has found a new home.
The former
elementary school building is comprised of several rooms, each
containing stationary exhibits showcasing Fairbury's history, people,
businesses and events. The grounds around the school building also
provide for larger, outdoor exhibits of machinery and equipment.
The Fairbury City Museum is located at 1128 Elm Street in Fairbury
(2 blocks south of Hwy 136 on Elm Street). School and Group tours
are welcome anytime. Museum hours are Thursdays, Saturdays and
Sundays, 1 - 4 pm or by appointment. Please call or (402)729-3000
for more information or to schedule tours. Email inquiries may
be sent to fairburychamber@diodecom.net. |
