Fairview, British Columbia is a small ghost town above the small town of Oliver. The ghost town is famous for the Fairview Hotel that burnt down in the 1900's.

There are many things that can still be visited at Fairview such as the Fairview Cemetery on Fairview Road, The Stampmill on Tinhorn Creek Road, and the many mines along the mountain. The town was originally built for the goldrush about 100 years ago. Two children died from sickness and were buried at the Cemetery. Visitors can even still see the Fairview jail that was moved beside the Oliver and District Museum.
