It lies 2.2 miles east of Kiryas Joel, NY (from Kiryas Joel, NY: bearing 81°T), and is situated 5.6 miles south-east of Blooming Grove. The Ramapo River, a silver thread, winds its way through the terrain, its banks softened by a verdant growth of trees that catch the afternoon sun. Here, the air often carries the faint, sweet scent of pine and damp earth, a clean breath from the surrounding natural world. The homes, a scattering of older farmhouses and more recent constructions, seem to settle comfortably into the curves of the land, as if they have always belonged. This patch of New York holds a history rooted in industry, particularly the milling that gave Highland Mills its name. The echoes of water-powered machinery, though long silent, are still a palpable presence in the quietude. The local economy, once driven by the power of the Ramapo, has since diversified, with residents finding work in nearby towns and a burgeoning interest in artisanal crafts and local produce breathing new life into the area. The proximity to larger urban centers has preserved a certain rural character, a slower cadence to life that allows for the appreciation of simple things, like the way the light filters through the leaves on a summer evening.
