Chester A. Arthur

In 1880, Vermonter Chester Alan Arthur was sworn in as the nation’s 21st president. The son of an impoverished Baptist minister, Arthur was born in a small temporary parsonage. He became a lawyer who advocated for civil rights and, as president, he championed civil service reform. Today a visit to the reconstructed homestead offers a pictorial portrayal of Arthur’s life and political career.
