Directions

The Chester Historical Society holds most of its functions at its main building at 9 West Main Street, Chester, CT. This building is affectionately known to locals as "The Mill."

Chester is located on the Connecticut River about 10 miles North of Old Saybrook. If traveling from the North or North West, take Route 9 South from I-91 south of Hartford. If traveling from the South West or East, take Route 9 North from I-95.

Take Exit 6 off Route 9. This is Route 148. From the South, take a right off the exit ramp. From the North, take a left. Follow the signs to the Town Center.

The Mill is located in the center of Chester on Route 148 - West Main Street. Our driveway is on the right, just before you enter the Town Center.

Parking

The Mill has limited parking. When parking is available, it is usually restricted for handicap use. When we have a large event, we sometimes use our small parking lot for a tent. In this case, there is NO parking on the premises.

Public parking is available

  • in the Town Center
  • just up West Main Street at the Public Library
  • when available, just next door to the Library at the United Church
  • at 4 Water Street behind the stone building
  • farther down Water street across from the bank
  • off Maple Street

Please note that parking is not permitted in the driveway to our building. This is a shared driveway that does not belong to us. It must be kept clear at all times for the residents who live further down the drive.
