RM of Chester’s story

The Rural Municipality of Chester No. 125 was incorporated as a rural municipality on December 13, 1909. It lies in the southeast part of Saskatchewan, and its office is in the village of Glenavon, which is surrounded by the RM. The hamlet of Peebles is also within its boundaries, along with the localities of Baring and Windthorst.

One of the area's early landmarks is the Schmitz Homestead, built in 1903 by Dr. Peter Schmitz just northwest of Windthorst. The building included a small chapel, and it is the only designated heritage building in the municipality. Today it is a private residence.
