This is a place where the past lingers in the names of the creeks and the old stone foundations that still stubbornly resist the earth's embrace. The economy of Chelsea has long been tethered to the land, its fields yielding crops that have sustained generations, though the modern pulse of commerce whispers of new enterprises and the steady flow of commuters.
