The Fairbury Cemetery is located just east of the Jefferson County Fairgrounds on the PWF road and sits atop a hill overlooking the beautiful Little Blue River Valley. Large brick gates grace the three entrances, two on the north along the PWF road and one on the west, on 569th Ave. A blacktop road creates a maze-like path throughout the cemetery, allowing visitors to travel the peaceful, rolling landscape past the newest graves on the western and southern edge, to the oldest part of the cemetery, located on the eastern end.
