about the chester shade historical association

Who We Are


With humble roots in the Return Jonathan Meigs Chapter Daughters of the Revolution to the Chester Shade Historical Association, it has always been about preserving history forward for posterity.  The idea of preserving the old Chester Courthouse and the Chester Academy along with historical artifacts and documents is a big part of what keeps us alive.  The CSHA is a living, evolving organization with a goal of helping our school children maintain an appreciation of our past by providing educational exhibits and events.
