Maple Ridge Road In Brasher, New York - Part 3

Maple Ridge Road took me alongside the St. Regis River (see also Parts 1 and 2, posted previously):

This old barn sat back in the trees as if it hadn't been used in many years:

The St. Regis River ran beside the road for a long way, making it very scenic:

And yet there were still farms, barns and silos along the way:

Non-farmers had been building homes in this scenic, rural environment because they loved country life. Who wouldn't want to live here?:

This old cemetery suggested the settlement here was once called Carville:

A hip roofed home, set back in the pines:

A neat and tidy farm, with its buildings lined up in a row:

I came to the end of Maple Ridge Road and toward the hamlet of Helena, NY. This large dairy operation drew my attention, though, so I kept snapping photos:

Forage wagons and barns. This was a large, busy farm:

Old and new barns with silos and grain bins. The white plastic off to the right appeared to be bagged silage, a modern version of the bunker silo:

I arrived in the Hamlet of Helena and stopped at this old church, which a sign said was now the museum for the town of Brasher. I hope to find out more and possibly visit it:
