Fairview Dairy Mural
The Yarborough family has been part of Sanford’s story since 1927, when they founded Fairview Dairy with just ten cows to supply milk for the entire city. The mural on the west-facing wall of Yarborough’s Ice Cream at 132 McIver Street pays tribute to that history in vivid detail, with three-dimensional cows emerging from the frame and milk and ice cream popping off the facade. Created by artist Chris Dalton, it holds the distinction of being the first 3D mural in North Carolina, a title that makes it well worth a stop on any downtown visit.
