Chesterfield Center Photo Gallery

This week, in my article for the New England Photographs Guild Blog, I decided to honor my home town of Chesterfield New Hampshire.  Well, actually, just a part of it.  Chesterfield comprises three separate villages including West Chesterfield, Chesterfield Center and my home near the lake in Spofford Village.  In previous articles, I have focused heavily on Spofford, but this week I thought it would be fair to highlight the classic beauty of Chesterfield Center. 

Chesterfield is a rural community with little industrial or commercial development, located mostly along State Route 9, the only “major” road, which bifurcates the town from east to west.    The town center benefits from this lack of development.  It buildings, mostly of stone, are aligned along Route 63 and include the 1851 Town hall, an adjacent library and the diminutive stone historical society building.  Also present along the road are the town’s K-8 school, the fire department and the new town office building whose stone facade was design to compliment the other village structure.

My article for the NEP Guild goes into a little more detail, but here I just wanted to include an album of some of my favorite images that would not fit into the Guild blog.  Chesterfield Center is easy to find.   From Route 9, just turn south on route 63. You will soon discover our lovely village perched on a ridge with panoramic view to the west and the southern Vermont hills.

Along the Ridge

As I look through all these images, I find it remarkable that they all came from a less than one mile stretch through Chesterfield Center.  I can only be grateful to live in such a beautiful little corner of the globe.
