The Old Gym

The Fairfield Recreation Hall, or the "Old Gym" stood just to the north of the school on the corner lot. The people of the valley worked hard together, and played hard too. The gym was used for dancing, singing schools, spelling bees, lectures, corn husking bees, and also for apple and plum bees. Fairfield citizens also used the gym for a chapel until 1961.
