The Society was formed in 1981 and operates with a board of directors and members at large. Since inception the CMHS has acquired the Chester Train Station, rebuilt the Lightfoote tower, and gained control through purchase or lease of a complete village block.
Come and enjoy Lordly Park at the corner of Central and Union Streets in the village. Have a picnic, enjoy the wet land area, toss washers, play a game of horse shoes, it is only limited by your imagination.
We are now engaged in the securing funding for a stragetic and business plan for the society.
