Chester Historical Society : About
TRAIN EXHIBIT
exhibition at the Chester Historical Society
47 Main Street, Chester, NY
consecutive Saturdays thru October 2015
9am - 1pm
Mary Endico took some photos during the opening reception, May
2, 2015.
The pictures tell a lot of the story, but for the details
you'll have to go over to the Chester Train Station and see for yourself.
There is even a working model train for the kids to
run.
Yes, we know some of the text above is a repeat of last year's,
but really it is spectacular, so this year we added some text below.

all his trains and scenery which had spread out
across his house as a life of responsibility took hold

visitors dressed in various period costumes
representing eras of travelers who have passed
through the station
