About Chase Mills, New York

Chase Mills rests where the Raquette River, a ribbon of persistent water, broadens and slows before its journey onward. It lies 95.4 miles west-north-west of Burlington, VT (from Burlington, VT: bearing 286°T), and is situated 5.5 miles north-west of Norfolk. The land here is a gentle, yielding terrain, a tableau of fertile fields stretching towards horizons softened by the breath of the north country. Broadleaf trees, their branches reaching out like welcoming arms, punctuate the landscape, their leaves whispering secrets to the passing breeze. In the quietude of the evening, the sky above Chase Mills often bleeds into hues of lavender and rose, a painterly farewell to the day, casting a tender glow on the scattered farmsteads and the quiet, winding roads that stitch the community together. The lifeblood of Chase Mills has long been tied to the river's embrace and the bounty of the surrounding earth. Historically, the Raquette provided power for mills, the very industry that gave this place its name, and its waters still offer a quiet companionship to the farmers who till the rich St. Lawrence valley soil. The economy here remains rooted in agriculture and the quiet industry of those who understand the land's rhythms, a far cry from the clamor of distant metropolises. Small, sturdy houses, their paint weathered by the seasons, stand as quiet testaments to generations who have found their sustenance and their peace in Chase Mills.
