Take a walk around Fairbank with FSPR docent Ron Stewart. It's a good way to learn a little history of the area and enjoy some time outdoors. Fairbank dates to 1882 when it grew up around a train depot - the closest to Tombstone. The optional walk to the cemetery is about a one-mile round trip on a trail which includes a shot uphill section with poor footing and loose rock. You are welcome to participate in the tour and not go to the cemetery. Wear a hat, sun protection, appropriate clothing, and sturdy shoes. Bring water and snacks. The tour meets in front of the Schoolhouse at the Fairbank Townsite. The entrance to the parking area is on the north side of the highway about 0.5 mile east of the San Pedro River bridge. Park in the outer lot and use the fenced trail to walk to the schoolhouse.
All ages are welcome, but small children will likely have their patience tested.
