Chester Arthur Historic Site

Nestled in the picturesque town of Essex Junction in Vermont lies the historic site of Chester Arthur, the 21st President of the United States. This site holds great historical importance as it was the birthplace of President Arthur and offers a glimpse into his life and legacy.

As visitors step through the doors of the restored 19th-century home, they are transported back in time to the early years of President Arthur's life and the charming rural community that shaped him. From the elegant furnishings to the preserved family portraits, every detail in the house reflects the opulence of the Victorian era.

In addition to the house, the site also features a museum and gardens that offer a deeper understanding of President Arthur's life, career, and contributions to the nation. Visitors can learn about his role in passing the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act and his efforts in modernizing the US Navy. This historic gem is a must-visit for anyone interested in American history and provides a unique opportunity to step into the shoes of one of the lesser-known but influential Presidents of the United States.
