Chase’s Mill

A Brief History and Plan for its Future

Near the middle of the town of Alstead, New Hampshire, nature created a small gorge with brook running through and bed rock near the surface, an ideal location for the placement of mills. Less than a quarter mile upstream is a small lake, called by the first settlers, the Great Pond, which offered a steady supply of water. The length of the gorge proved sufficient for as many as five mills and their related buildings operating together, and these mills became the economic base for the small, but busy, industrial center known as Mill Hollow. This video talks about this history and the future plans for the last remaining mill, Chase’s Mill.
