Over the next 20 years, the ore ran out in Tombstone, but Fairbank survived with limited residents until the 1970s, when it became abandoned. A number of the old buildings still stand with the school house still standing and in good condition.

Today, visitors can walk the streets of Fairbank, view the old town and see many of the old buildings. For those interested in exploring further, there are trails leading to the old cemetery. Fairbank is now part of the San Pedro Riperian National Conservation Area; which preserves the flora and fauna of this ecosystem.
