Alex Prizgintas begins his “Travelogues of Orange County” videoseries in Chester. Travelogue No. 1 showcases the Erie Railroad's Chester Station which, in the spring of 1842, was the center of a major innovation in marketing and transportation that would make millions for the railroad. It would also revolutionize business for dairy farmers all while saving countless thousands of infants from disease and death.
