L-R: The Rogers and Oxford school buildings are empty and decaying as town officials try to find the right fit for each building. A Request for Proposals yielded only one response for each building (see page 12). The Selectboard decided to reject both proposals (see page 4) and start over again. The board will draft a new RFP with different requirements. Photos by Beth David.

The tour ends at the Fairhaven Village Green, Site #20. Things to consider when walking: • Wear comfortable shoes and watch where you step! • Always use crosswalks and be alert when crossing streets. • Take breaks as needed.

FAIRHAVEN HISTORIC WALKING TOUR This photo-rich tour book gives a glimpse into Fairhaven’s past, showing how it has evolved over time. Settled in 1853, Fairhaven was one of four early towns that consolidated in 1904 to create the City of Bellingham. In the late 19th century Fairhaven experienced a series of booms and busts, in part due to anticipation by real estate investors who were led to believe that the town would become the terminus of the Great Northern Railroad.
