It was built around 1920 and classes were held there until 1944. The schoolhouse fell into disrepair after closing. Recently the Bureau of Land and Management and a non-profit organization, the Friends of the San Pedro, completed a restoration of the building and it is now open to the public. Fairbank is a "ghost town" located within the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area. The town is on the east side of the San Pedro River approximately 10 miles west of Tombstone on SR 82. Fairbank used to be a transportation hub in the late 19th century. At its peak in the 1880’s, the town served as the central entry point for Tombstone and the silver mining industry there.
