Chase's Mill in Alstead, NH is hosting Exploring the Yuhas Mines hike as part of our 2024 calendar of community programs. Alstead and Acworth were hotbeds of mining in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Evidence of this includes mines, mine pits, and sometimes, old equipment. As we hike to the Yuhas mines, we will also explore two cellar holes, and an abandoned farmhouse that are present along the wooded class IV road. There are two nice views of the Acworth hills as well. This hike is 3.5 miles. It is moderately challenging. Hiking boots and tick spray are recommended. We'll meet and park at 449 Cobb Hill Road, Alstead. Adults and children 8 years and up with accompanying adult.
Allan Kauders loves the outdoors and is an avid hiker. His curiosity about his surroundings has led him to learn of the history of the mines and cellar holes that are part of the landscape in which he lives. He is also a steward of Chase's Mill by serving as a Board Member.
