The Historic Fairhaven District sees growth with new mixed use commercial & residential buildings and refurbishing of the old buildings.

The Morgan Block Building was constructed in 1890, prior to the depression of 1893.  This beautiful building has been amidst a tremendous amount of change in the district.  In 1969 the building was purchased and turned into a community trust.  Over the years this building has housed the Community Food Co-op, an alternative newspaper and currently is home to Artwood Gallery, Good Earth Pottery, plus the upper floors are used as studio space for artists.

If you have been to Fairhaven lately, you probably noticed the scaffolding in the front and along the side of the building.  As of today, the repair work is complete and this beautiful building shows the same exterior as it did when it was completed in 1890.

Looking for a safe and easy place for the little ones to Trick or Treat?  Look no more... The Historic Fairhaven District is known for it's fun & spooky environment for ghouls and goblins alike.

No need for a map!  Most business participate in the event, just look for the sign at the door way and the wonderful decorations that will draw you in.  Many shopkeepers get into the event with their own costumes and meeting you at the door with treats.

And of course, don't forget to stop by the Fairhaven Pharmacy for your free photo session.  Gordy Tweit has been taking photos at Halloween for over 40 years and post them in the windows of the pharmacy for everyone to see the following days.  You just have to stop back by the shop and pick up your memorable photo during the following week.
