Oliver School to work on weaving, pottery, jewellery making, copper enameling and various crafts. Due to a fire in the building, the members had to relocate to the Provincial Building for a brief period. The group formed and registered as a society in 1979 and began planning to build their own centre. The Fine Arts Centre, at its present location, opened in the fall of 1981.

Located just 1 km north of Fairview, the Fairview Pioneer Museum is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history and the pioneering spirit. This hidden gem is tucked away in the heart of Northern Alberta and is a unique representation of what life was like in rural Canada during the early 20th century.

One of the main attractions at the museum is the collection of pioneer homes, including the Morrison home, a classic example of a pioneer house from the late 20s or 30s, which has been preserved and is open to visitors. Inside, the house has displays that depict what life was like during this period, complete with antique furniture and household items. The Hull House and Fitzpatrick House are two other pioneer homes on the property, each with its own unique story and displays. Visitors can step inside these homes and see how life was lived during the early days of settlement.

In addition to the homes, the museum also has farm, oilfield, sawmill and demonstration areas as well as a blacksmith shop. These exhibits provide a glimpse into the economic and commercial activities of the time.

Education was a vital part of pioneer life, and the Fairview Pioneer Museum pays tribute to this with the Woodlawn School and Scotswood School on display. Visitors can step inside these one-room schools and see how children were educated during this period.

The Marshall Rolling Exhibit Building is a two-story building with artifacts on both levels, showcasing an impressive collection of antique tractors, farm machinery, and signs from the region.

The Fairview Pioneer Museum is not just a collection of artifacts; it is a living museum that tells the story of Alberta’s pioneering heritage. The museum is open from May to the end of August, Tuesday to Saturday, from 9 am to 5 pm. The Fairview Pioneer Museum Committee, a subcommittee of the Agricultural Society, manages the museum and is always looking for new volunteers to help with the restoration and upkeep of the site.
