Greg, Russ and I attended the Chester Historical Talk at the First Church of Chester on Skyline Trail given by John Garvey. We learned how the town of Chester was formed from it’s original Murrayfield which incorporated present day Huntington, parts of Montgomery, Middlefield and Blandford. The church is the oldest and most original, still being heated by two wood stoves. Russ was excited to ring the bell in the steeple! Sponsored by the Chester Hill Association.
