About Fairfax, Minnesota
Fairfax is a town of about 1,250 in Renville County, just south and west of St. Peter’s on Highway 19. It was platted in 1882 when the Minneapolis & St. Louis Railway came through, and the 1883 depot is now the town's historical museum. Dayz of Thunder comes at the end of June, and the Fairfax Cardinals play town-team baseball at Memorial Park all summer. Fort Ridgely State Park is seven miles south of town. Fairfax children go to GFW with many of our church’s children, and Fairfax has several churches — but no LCMS congregation.
