Chester, CT is a small historic New England mill town along the west bank of the Connecticut River which, once discovered, finds a special place in the heart and minds of its visitors. Its sixteen square miles includes thousands of acres of state forest. And the Village is one of the few in the state that has weathered the passing of time to maintain its original Currier & Ives personality. The merchant shops offer a diversity of artisans, eateries and talented professionals. Enjoy the theatres, concerts, camps and special events. Arrive by plane, train, boat, ferry or car. Any way you get here, it's worth the visit, and you are welcome to stay.
