Fairview Museum of History & Art

If you are traveling Highway 89 and are interested in the history of this Mormon Pioneer Heritage area, then you have to make a stop at the Fairview Museum of History and Art (FMHA) located in the town of Fairview.

Visitors usually remark that they were pleasantly surprised by the size and quality of the collection at this museum. It’s a testament to the dedication that Utah residents, as a culture, have to preserving history.

The museum, located at 85 N. 100 East, consists of two main buildings: the historic Heritage building, which contains historical collections and the works of world-renowned sculptor Dr. Avard T Fairbanks, and the more contemporary Horizon building, which houses regional art, a Colombian Mammoth skeleton (named Spirit), historical displays, art displays, the Clark Bronson bronze collection and other services.

Many of the rooms in the Heritage building display settings from the 1800s such as a sitting room, including furniture, knick-knacks and a piano; a fully furnished bedroom; a complete kitchen; and one unusual room that shows an 1800s dentist office.

Also in the Horizon Building are historical displays such as a large Clark Bronson bronze collection, an impressive shell and rock collection, and historical and genealogical library collections.

The centerpiece of the museum an enormous mammoth skeleton that was discovered just 13 miles from Fairview.

The Fairview Museum of History and Art has an all-volunteer staff and is funded by donations and grants. There is no entry fee to visit the museum, although donations are encouraged.
