An American icon, nestled at the crossroads of Rt. 206 and Rt 24 in the quaint borough of Chester, Larison's Turkey Farm Inn stands, serving guests a country style turkey dinner since 1945. As all good things must come to an end, the same is true for this famous restaurant as of January 1, 2001. Patrons from all over and all ages will be left with the fond memories this establishment has created.
