Pioneer Historic Byway
Chesterfield, ID

Established in 1879, this historic community on the Oregon Trail is a well preserved example of a small Mormon settlement. The town site features 23 historic buildings, many of them brick, built between 1884 and 1904. The community was abandoned in the 1920s due to crop failures in the harsh climate. It is on the National Register of Historic Places. The Chesterfield Foundation is working on site and building restoration.
