Nestled between Bromley, Magic, Stratton, and Okemo Mountains and located just west of the junction of Rt 11 and 103 on Rt 11, Chester is a charming Vermont town full of architectural treasures and surrounded by unspoiled countryside. Lodging and dining, from elegant to homey, make the visitor glad to have found a thriving town that has not lost its sense of history and place. Nominated as one of the prettiest “Painted Places” in America, Chester offers a number of shops with distinct personalities on the pretty green and all through the town welcoming strollers and browsers.
Things not to miss: The bronze moose on Route 103, Michelangelo’s “David”, the old train depot (still in operation), a stone village, a metal tombstone, the swinging bridge, a historic firehouse with its drying tower, the biggest teddy bear store in the country (10,000+ bears), antiques, and…don’t forget to ring the bell at the Historical Society!
