| Fairmont's location in the "Heart of the Midwest" is a great place to bring together colleagues for business or catch a relaxing nights sleep after traveling Interstate 90. Area lakes are a popular site for recreational activities any season of the year. If you prefer a stroll down memory lane you will find many sites to visit, such as the: Fairmont Opera House, Pioneer Museum, Red Rock Center For The Arts, or Heritage Acres. Recreational opportunities include an Aquatic Park, skate park, soccer fields, many softball diamonds, volleyball courts, and much more! A multitude of specialty shops offer a real shoppers paradise. We are proud of the beauty, history and prosperity of our city and surrounding area - we hope your time in the area will give you a chance to appreciate them also! | |
