Fairview Cemetery

Nestled in the bluffs overlooking the Missouri River Valley, Fairview Cemetery is home to many Council Bluffs settlers, business entrepreneurs, and a scurry of black squirrels.

Though not on cemetery ground, Fairview has become synonymous with one of Council Bluffs most impressive, beautiful, and elegant landmarks. She is a site to behold - wings at rest, one hand outstretched, a wistful look, and a peaceful gaze.

This tour explores the majesty of this historic memorial garden, the lives of some who rest there, and the art erected to memorialize them.
