Sharon Valley Historic District

The Sharon Valley Historic District spans 110 acres between Webutuck and Indian Lake creeks, featuring mid-19th century buildings at the intersection of three major roads.

The district's first iron furnace, established in 1825, transformed Sharon from an agricultural community into an industrial center employing numerous local workers.

The Federal, Greek Revival, and Gothic Revival architecture of workers' houses and industrial buildings reflects the evolution of 19th-century American construction methods.

The district includes preserved industrial structures, three iron bridges, and the Valley Tavern, which formerly served as the Sharon Valley Iron Company office.

The district contains remnants of a limestone kiln from 1880 and an iron furnace from 1863, marking the area's industrial heritage.
