Tomorrow we celebrate the history of Chester Factory Village at Chester On Track 2025.  The coming of the Western Railroad, boldly laying tracks from Chester over the wild wilderness west over the steep grade to Albany brought immigrants from Ireland and Italy to make a living and feed their families with the endless work hours offered to them.  Chester Depot, an icon in the village center was saved from demolition as so many along the line were not.  Experience the rich history of Chester Factory Village as countless volunteers over many years have worked to preserve our rich history for all.
