About Chester, SC

While being transported to Richmond, Virginia, for his trial for treason, former Vice-President Aaron Burr passed through Chester. Burr "flung himself from his horse and cried for a rescue, but the officer commanding the escort seized him, threw him back like a child into the saddle, and marched on." The large stone he stood on has been inscribed and is preserved in the town center, and is known locally as the Aaron Burr Rock. Chester was home to Brainerd Institute, a school for African American. The Catholic Presbyterian Church, Chester City Hall and Opera House, Chester Historic District, Colvin-Fant-Durham Farm Complex, Fishdam Ford, Kumler Hall, Lewis Inn, and McCollum Mound are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Chester is located just west of the center of Chester County at 34°42′20″N 81°12′42″W  /  34.70556°N 81.21167°W  / 34.70556; -81.21167 (34.705553, -81.211638).
