Sterling Hill Historic District

The Sterling Hill Historic District features 14 houses with outbuildings and a central church positioned along a broad ridge at Sterling's western boundary.

The district gained recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, preserving its collection of Federal, Georgian, and Greek Revival buildings.

The Sterling Hill Baptist Church, established in 1812, represents the religious foundation of the community and continues to serve as a central gathering place.

The district extends along State Route 14A and Green Lane, offering visitors access to preserved examples of 18th and 19th-century New England architecture.

The village center maintained its original character due to its distance from industrial developments and railroads, which passed through neighboring Plainfield.
