This small frame house was reconstructed by the State of Vermont in 1953 on the location where the Arthur family moved shortly after the birth of the future 21st President of the United States. Chester Alan Arthur was born in Fairfield, Oct 5, 1929, the son of a Baptist preacher. The building houses an interpretive exhibit on Arthur’s life and career. Nearby, and also open to the public, is the brick church where his father served as minister.
