Nestled in the northernmost section of the Adirondack Mountains; the communities of Keeseville; Port Kent; Ausable Chasm; Clintonville; Harkness; Port Douglas; Ausable; and Chesterfield provided early settlers of the 1800s with a wealth of natural resources in wood; iron; and stone. The Ausable Chasm and Ausable River provided the natural power to refine the materials on-site; while the nearby Lake Champlain provided the transportation to the rest of the world. For early America; this was a booming community that rapidly grew from the 1850s until the 1920s; when modernized transportation and factories around the country made the fairly isolated area less cost-effective. Today; Keeseville is a quiet stop on the Northway that connects New York City and Albany to Montreal. Impressive bridges; closed factories; and some old grand architecture are remnants of the glory days of the once-booming community.
