Rush

Rush is a classic example of rural small-town America. The East Rush hamlet, now known as simply Rush, was first named Webster s Mills. Although not the first settler in the area, John Webster, who purchased the land in 1810, soon began building a town first a sawmill and a gristmill, followed by a general store, a hotel, and a school. Other businesses followed, and more families arrived. East Rush was the primary hamlet and, along with West Rush and North Rush, comprised a hardworking, close-knit, rural farming community. By the late 1800s, it was a thriving and self-sufficient community. And, like any town, it is the individuals who built it and lived here that bring Rush s past to life. Years later, the strong family and agricultural base continues, but the bustling activity that centered around the trains and mills has quieted."
