The President Chester A. Arthur State Historic Site is a state historic site located in Fairfield, Vermont.[1] It honors 21st President Chester A. Arthur, who was born in Vermont in 1829.[2] 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.
Visitors can also tour the nearby Fairfield Baptist Church, the church where his father served as preacher.
