Chester Municipal Heritage Society

Lordly House restoration is on-going!! Lordly House Museum is closed for the season. Our heritage displays, files, information housed at the Chester Train Station, 20 Smith Rd. are available by appointment by calling 275-3826. The CAP site at Julien's Pastry and Bakery on Queen Street is available throughout the year

Thank you to everyone who helped with our annual auction and to those who joined in the bidding fun. Your support pays the bills.

An additional 26,693 historical vital statistics are waiting for you on www.novascotiagenealogy.com! These records were released on 31 December 2009 and include births (1909), marriages (1934) and deaths (1959), plus 'delayed' registrations for individuals born in 1909 but not registered at the time of birth. The delayed registrations are especially interesting -- most include several pages of supporting documentation (keep scrolling way down....). Happy searching!

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.

-Achieve the protection and preservation of Lordly Park’s environmental resource and beauty for use by community members of all ages.
