Chester Alan Arthur State Historic Site
The President Chester A. Arthur State Historic Site is a state historic site located in Fairfield, Vermont. It honors Chester A. Arthur, the 21st president of the United States, who was born in Vermont in 1829. The site includes a replica of the original early 19th-century home in which he was born that was constructed in 1953 using an old photograph of the house as a guide. In 1903, a granite monument was dedicated on the spot where it was thought he had been born.[1]
