For the last twenty years, the Chester Historical Preservation Committee has worked to preserve historic sites and landmarks, including the restoration of a pre-World War I trolley that once ran between Chester and Wilmington and the showcasing of the area's many historic homes and mansions during the holiday season. The committee holds monthly meetings at the Chester Friends Meeting House to share Chester's history with others.
