Chesterfield Historical Society of Virginia

Announces Artifact of the Month

at the Chesterfield County Museum

The Chesterfield Historical Society of Virginia, in cooperation with Chesterfield’s Department of Parks and Recreation announces Chesterfield County
Museum’s Artifact of the Month. Each month, beginning in January, an artifact from the museum collection will be highlighted. This will be an opportunity
to learn about Chesterfield’s history through unique items that are normally not available for public viewing. So be sure to check back often, online at www.
ChesterfieldHistory.com , www.facebook.com/ChesterfieldHistory, or by visiting the County Museum, at 6813 Mimms Loop on Chesterfield’s Historic
Courthouse Green. January’s Artifact of the Month is a pair of ice skates that were manufactured by the Union Hardware Company of Torrington, Connecticut
between 1870 and 1910. Ice skating was a popular winter pastime in Chesterfield. Before modern year-round ice rinks were available, frozen bodies of water
such as Jahnke Lake served as community gathering spots for winter ice skating parties.
