Chester

Chester, incorporated in 1836, is a small, former mill town with roots in the shipbuilding industry.

Located on the hillside of the Connecticut River, Chester achieved fame as a center for inventors and manufacturing innovations. A town for all seasons, Chester reflects typical New England charm with its rolling hills, pristine lakes, rushing waterfalls, lush forests and sparkling streams and ponds. The town is a haven for nature lovers, who will find a variety of flora, fauna and wildlife throughout Cockaponset State Park and along the Connecticut River. Because Chester’s geography includes a healthy assortment of natural water features, many property owners take advantage of their natural surroundings – streams, waterfalls and ponds – by incorporating them into their landscaping. Chester has a vibrant downtown hub, lined with an array of eateries, retail shops and businesses. It is home to the 65-foot-long Chester-Hadlyme Ferry, owned and operated by the State of Connecticut. The ferry operates seasonally and has a capacity for approximately 50 passengers and eight to nine vehicles.
