Fairfield, where winding country roads lead past sugarbushes to quiet ponds and classic farmsteads, blends rural breathing room with easy connections to St. Albans and Burlington. Residents keep tabs on town news and services through the Town of Fairfield, and celebrate local history at the Chester A. Arthur State Historic Site, honoring the 21st U.S. president born here. Outdoor days might mean casting from the shores of Fairfield Pond, skating on a crisp winter afternoon, or spotting herons in the lowlands of the Fairfield swamp.
Families appreciate strong neighborhood institutions. The PreK–8 Fairfield Center School anchors community life, while many older students attend Bellows Free Academy, St. Albans. Lifelong learning and gatherings happen at the Bent Northrop Memorial Library and the Fairfield Community Center Association, both brimming with programs, concerts, and seasonal suppers. Maple is a way of life—spring brings steam from local sugarhouses and the nearby Vermont Maple Festival in St. Albans draws the region together.
