The community traces its history back to the mid-1700s, when it grew around a local grist mill and general store serving nearby farms. That historic character still shows in the older homes along the main road, while the surrounding valley gives residents easy access to fishing, open space, and the Paulins Kill Valley Rail Trail. It is a great fit for anyone looking for quiet rural living while staying within an easy drive of larger towns in the area.
