Walking map kiosk going up in downtown Chester features a number of loops for walking around town. Healthy Hampshire and Hilltown Hikers erected the kiosk. Three of the loops are the Chester & Becket Trail, built by Friends of the Keystone Arches, Inc. in the early 2000's. About the third urban trail in the country; a new movement then. Would have been the first, but we had to wait 3 years for a crosswalk over Rte. 20. Tom & Liz of the Hillltown Hikers shown here.
