The Fairview Museum of History and Art has recorded more than 14,000 visitors during 1995, doubling last year's tally, and museum officials are preparing for continued growth.
One reason for the growth, officers say, is the addition of a new building to the complex. Its main feature is a replica of the wooly mammoth skeleton that was uncovered at the Huntington Reservoir several years ago.Another attraction is a casting of an Avard Fairbanks sculpture donated by the Fairbanks family. Other exhibits will also be placed in the building, which was financed with a bond issue.
The museum is now open year-round. It is staffed by four part-time workers but needs volunteers, said president Betty Jorgensen.
