What was life really like for the children who called Fairlawn Mansion home? Step back in time with John Miller, who lived at Fairlawn for ten years when it served as the Superior Children's Home. In this special walking history talk, John will guide guests through the mansion while sharing personal stories, cherished memories, and fascinating insights from his years as a resident. Along the way, you'll hear firsthand accounts of daily life, friendships, traditions, and even a few little-known stories that bring this chapter of Fairlawn's history to life in a way no exhibit ever could. Unlike our traditional seated history talks, this immersive walking tour offers a rare opportunity to experience Fairlawn through the eyes of someone who once called it home.
