Welcome to the Past

Nestled in the foothills of Idaho's Portneuf Valley, Chesterfield Offers an excellent visitor experience. Located between Lava Hot Springs and Soda Springs, Idaho and along the Oregon Trail. The Idaho village established in 1880, is a significant historic site that calls attention to a specific period of time. Few places of this early period remain, making it all the more important. Its unique history and magnificent scenery have attracted visitors, young and old, from near and far, for may years.

Oregon Trail Marker
Cooper Morris dedicated many hours in Chesterfield where he worked on and completed his Eagle Project. He widened the Oregon Trail Marker, put down weed stop and finished the trail off with bark. The revitalized trail looks beautiful and will be enjoyed by Chesterfield visitors for many years to come.
