Our Society has published a few information papers about the heritage site and facilities. In the future there will likely be additional ones produced. Some are for sale while other information about Fairbridge, including links to other internet sites dealing with the history of Fairbridge elsewhere in the world, are included in this web site.
Like most small charitable societies we are always in need of funds to keep the historic site looking good and to undertake various projects to upgrade the two buildings to meet the needs of our patrons. The Chapel News is usually updated quarterly and briefly mentions what the Society is doing as well as who is using the heritage site. Should you wish more information or book a tour you are most welcome to contact us.
The Chapel Society would like to direct you to the About Fairbridge section for more information about the history of our community.
