Thanks to your Generous Contributions The Stone House has been Saved and placed on the New Hampshire Register of Historical Places! Now, your donations are needed to make it into a viable showcase of Chesterfield's Past.

Incorporated in 1975, our mission is to stimulate interest in and document the history of the Town of Chesterfield. This is done through collections and preservation of items with historical interest and significance and by sharing them through programs, workshops and publications.
