Talcottville Historic District

The district spans 92 acres at the confluence of Tankerhoosen and Hockanum Rivers, featuring mill buildings, worker houses, and an 1891 iron bridge.

John Warburton established the first successful cotton mill in Connecticut at this location in 1802, introducing mechanized textile production to the state.

The Talcott brothers transformed the area into a manufacturing community with houses, schools, and facilities designed to support the mill workers' daily lives.

The Vernon Historic District Commission maintains this National Register of Historic Places site, which contains 32 historically significant structures along Main Street.

A preserved nineteenth-century factory village retains its original stone dam, wood-frame mill structure, and worker housing arranged around the Tankerhoosen River.
