History
Fairbanks Community Center is a place for families, youth and the community of Sullivan County. Originally opened as Fairbanks School in 1910, the building is full of historic details and stories. Even though the school often had a graduating class of less than 15 everyone in the area knows someone that attended Fairbanks. In 1990 North Central High School in Farmersburg added a junior high and the little community school was closed. After the school closed, it sat for some time, but there was always an underlying vision in the community to have children once again playing in the building. Many a rough road was traveled, years and people have come and gone, but the dream continued to live on in the hearts of the volunteers who have sought to make that dream a successful reality.
