Chester, Census-designated place in Windsor County, Vermont, US
Chester is a census-designated community in Windsor County, Vermont, spread across rolling terrain with a mix of residential areas, small businesses, and municipal buildings. The landscape is typical of rural New England towns with scattered homes and local services.
Chester began as a small settlement during Vermont's early colonization period and gradually became an organized administrative area. The presence of Chester Depot reflects the town's historical importance as a transportation point in the region.
Chester is a place where residents gather regularly to have a say in local decisions and how things are run. This direct participation in community matters is part of everyday life for those who live here.
Chester has a municipal center where visitors can find local government services during standard weekday business hours. It's worth calling ahead to confirm that specific services are available when you plan to visit.
Chester actually exists in two distinct parts: the main village and Chester Depot, which function as separate areas with their own character. This split reflects how the town expanded over time while maintaining distinct neighborhood identities.

Vermont hides historic places away from main roads, often forgotten by hurried travelers. Here you find granite quarries still working or long abandoned, small rural schools from the 1800s where children learned together, wooden covered bridges, and waterfalls flowing through thick forests.
