Town of Chester

A place to experience
old time New England.

The town of Chester has a picturesque Main Street lined with shops and restaurants. We have lakes and ponds, myriad hidden streams, cascading waterfalls, a state forest, the Connecticut River, marinas, Off-Broadway plays, a YMCA Camp, even a small airport.

Most of all, we have vibrant and creative people who welcome you to visit — and maybe stay longer than you planned.

We cherish our small town way of life, and do what we can to preserve it. Come experience Chester first-hand.
