About Fairchild

Fairchild is a quiet village of around 450 people in eastern Eau Claire County. Originally founded as a railroad and timber hub in the late 1800s, the community today offers a peaceful rural lifestyle surrounded by scenic farmland and nearby county forests. Locals take pride in preserving their heritage at the Fairchild Area History Center downtown, and the village's crossroads location at U.S. Highways 10 and 12 makes getting around simple. Sitting about ten miles east of I-94, it provides a slow-paced home base with straightforward drives to larger hubs like Eau Claire.
