Explore Our History
Since 1767, there has been a mill at the mouth of Lake Warren in Alstead, New Hampshire. Over the years these mills provided lumber for building, grain for food, and economic opportunity through manufacturing. Today, Chase’s Mill is a living museum and one of only nine operable water-powered mills left in New Hampshire.
