The Garrett family drove by the vacant mansion day after day witnessing its slow demise. Everyday they wished someone would buy the historic property and restore it to its former glory. The Garretts did not realize that it would be their family that would take on the project! With a vision, the Garrett's tackled the restoration of Fairview Manor full force with a team of local contractors with specializations in their craft. Fairview Manor began as a private home, turned into a "nunnery" for the Sisters of the Holy Cross, and finally was a restaurant before it closed in 2008. Fairview Manor has been repurposed by the Garrett's to include a Farm-Based Distillery.
