Chesterfield, Idaho
Chesterfield, Idaho (ID), US
Chesterfield is a ghost town in Caribou County, Idaho, United States. Located along a route of the Oregon Trail, Chesterfield was founded by Mormon settlers in 1881. After a railroad line was built through Bancroft to the south, the community lost some of its momentum, and agricultural difficulties led to its desertion by the end of the 1930s. Today, the community is operated as a tourist attraction, with guided tours and a museum.
