Historic Markers Installed in Fairland

The Fairland Historical Society is excited to work with community partners to share history. Today, we hosted the Historic Marker Celebration - Fairland because of the work of many people.

Robbie Stonebraker first suggested the idea of a plaque to document the history of the Fairland School. We love great ideas!

Rick Daily helped to research county records.

Jim & Joyce Harrell shared photos of the 1883 & 1928 schools.

The City & County Progress Grants administered by the Blue River Community Foundation provided the funding to make this possible.

Mike Green said “Yes” when we asked if we could install a plaque for Fairland & railroad history at the old train depot.

Tammy, John & Larken at Begley Signs helped turn the images & text into beautiful historical markers.

And, our Board members were essential throughout this process.

So, today, we say “Thank you” to our community for making this possible! We are so happy to celebrate with you.

Train Wreck in Fairland, Nov 1961

On Sunday morning, 5 Nov 1961, Fairland residents were awakened by a 28-train car derailment in the heart of town. The 161-car freight train was en route from Indianapolis to Cincinnati on the New York Central line with 1 loaded & 160 empty cars. The journal box broke on the car that was loaded with steel scrap which led to the derailment. Newspapers across Indiana reported the story. No one was injured, but Bertha Hasler, age 80, was quoted with her description of the loud crash as some of the train cars landed 15 feet from her house. A tool shed & utility poles were smashed. A crew of 20 with 2 wreckers had the site cleared by Monday. We thank Richard "Dick" Thurston for photographing & documenting the scene and his family for sharing the photos! If you have photos of interest, please consider sharing them with the Fairland Historical Society.
