Town of the Week - Chester CT
Chester
Chester is a charming, quaint town dating back to its corporation in 1836. It’s an eclectic environment for all to find something to love and is home to artists, museums, and shops, all worth a visit.
Many weekends of the year you can find a pop-up event or planned market for visitors and locals to find the perfect gift or treat. The town also touts several delicious and mentionable restaurants and plenty of outdoor activities.
Chester is a town with a family-like community. Head to their town website to search for upcoming events hosted most months of the year that will surely bring the whole family around; ice sculpting, chili cook-offs, and tractor parades, to name a few.
Shoutout to YMCA Camp Hazen for over 100 years of bringing kids and families together. Camp Hazen has given opportunities to youth offering afternoon and overnight
programs and to young adults in leadership training. From swimming to hiking and the all-around camping experience during the summer, this camp serves the community and beyond.
