Fairhaven Can Choose a Woman for Select Board The Fairhaven Historical Society has put together a display this summer entitled “Fairhaven Women who Made History.” I think it is wonderful to recognize and honor these women, some of whom were Suffragists and played a very important role in allowing all women to vote.  In Fairhaven… [Read More]
