Memorial day celebration

Monday, May 31 from 10:15 am - 4:00 pm

Our building doors open each year at 10:15 on Memorial Day celebrating those hardy Chesterfield pioneers. Come take a look inside these historic buildings, have some fun and experience what makes Chesterfield great. All are welcome! 

Scheduled Events

**Home and building docents will be taking staggered brakes throughout the day. We ask visitors to be patient with these closures. Our volunteers are wonderful but not super-human. They need a bit of time to eat lunch, take a breather, and "freshen" up. If the building you would like to visit is closed, they should be back within 30 minutes. It is also a great time for you to grab lunch and visit the auction while you wait.
