About Chesterfield Historical Society

The Chesterfield Township Historical Society is a nonprofit group run by volunteers. It collects and protects township records and stories through a museum, a library and archive, and public programs and events. The township was founded in 1677 and became an early Quaker settlement in the Delaware Valley. The society depends on members, volunteers, dues, and donations to keep its museum open and fund community events.
