We would like to invite you to Chester to see our new historical restoration project, the Chester Granite Saw.......IN THE DARK!
On October 25th all the ghouls come out with no holds barred for the Sinister Saw Halloween Event where we light up the trail (in places, the rest of it is really scary) and the crazy clowns, masked chainsaw men and evil witches will haunt this abandoned mill in Chester Factory Village!

AND THERES MORE! The Town of Chester invites all ghouls, ghosts, and goblins to gather at the Chester Railway Station for frights and fun! We'll kick things off with pumpkin decorating, followed by our rag-shag parade marching from the Railway Station to the ball field where the frightful fun begins! Cheer or compete in our inflatable race at 5:30 p.m. (all are welcome to participate!) Then sink your fangs into Trunk or Treat, enjoy face painting, live music, and a food truck feast while spooky spirits roam the grounds. Dress to impress (or terrify!) for our costume contests, followed by an award ceremony. Make sure to visit The Sinister Saw haunted trail... if you dare. Step carefully... shadows move, whispers follow, and you never know what's lurking around the bend. Warm your bones by the fire at the snack shack, where s'mores and other sweet treats await. We hope to see you all there!
Be prepared for a spine tingling, jump out of your pants walk thru the haunted woods! Join the Hilltown Hikers and our volunteers at our Granite Saw property. We will have a haunted trail complete with a 12-foot diameter cutting saw, real tombstones, haunted gags, bloody ghouls, skin crawling sounds, zombies and more! What is lurking in those woods? Don't worry, we will make sure you get out....alive!
