The Town of Fairfield 1880's - postcard images
Much of the information on this site comes from the work of Marilyn H. Heald's 1965 thesis "A Historical Study of the Fairfield Public Library, Fairfield, Iowa; From 1853 to 1900," available at the Fairfield Public Library.
An early postcard showing construction of the library.
