Chesterfield Historical Society members and township officials broke ground Wednesday on a brick path in the Chesterfield Historical Village.

The brick path will connect the circular trail inside the village to the memorial marker that commemorates the 13 lives lost when a tornado struck Chesterfield Township on May 8, 1964.

“It’s a powerful history, but also a reminder of how neighbors will come together to help each other out during times of trouble,” said Chesterfield Township Supervisor Michael Lovelock. “Chesterfield Township is a family. We’ll stick together then and we’ll stick together now.”

Eileen Rivard, Chesterfield Historical Society president, said the groundbreaking ceremony is also the kickoff for the historical society’s brick-paver fundraising effort.-Patch.com
