Taftsville Historic District
Taftsville Historic District, Industrial heritage district in Woodstock, United States.
The Taftsville Historic District extends along the Ottauquechee River and includes wooden residential buildings, a covered bridge, and a hydroelectric power station.
The district originated in 1793 when Stephen Taft and his brothers established a metal tool factory, producing scythes and axes for the agricultural sector.
The district contains numerous 19th-century wood frame structures, including the 1840 Taftsville Store and an 1911 Colonial Revival school building turned Mennonite chapel.
The district sits at the intersection of United States Route 4 and Happy Valley Road, with the Taftsville Store serving as a central landmark.
The 1836 Taftsville Covered Bridge remains operational, connecting both sides of the Ottauquechee River while the original dam now generates hydroelectric power.
