Spotsylvania Sunday School Union Parkside
Since 1909, the Spotsylvania Sunday School Union (SSSU), represented by their trustees, has owned the undeveloped acres surrounding the John J. Wright School (now totaling 138.5 acres). In 1979, approximately 10 acres south of the school’s lot was set aside by the SSSU for a community park.
When the SSSU voted to construct a building where programs may occur, they turned again to a Fairchild. This time it was Aaron Fairchild, third son of Alfred Fairchild who built the Spotsylvania Graded School. Aaron attended that school in the 1930s and later learned carpentry from his father, with whom he worked until the elder Fairchild’s death on February 20, 1950.
