Chesterfield is a ghost town located in the Gem Valley, in the eastern part of Idaho.

Today, Chesterfield is a well-preserved ghost town and has become a popular tourist destination. Visitors can explore the town’s historic buildings, including the schoolhouse, church, and general store, which have been restored to their original condition.
