Hazardville Historic District
Hazardville Historic District, Greek Revival district in Hazardville, US
The Hazardville Historic District spans 1,075 acres and features buildings with brownstone trim, including churches, schools, and residential structures along Hazard Avenue.
Colonel Augustus George Hazard established the Hazard Powder Company in 1835, transforming the area into a major gunpowder manufacturing center until 1913.
Four primary brick buildings, including the Hazardville Institute and Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, represent the social infrastructure of the 19th-century industrial community.
The district contains visible foundations of 21 original Hazard Powder Company buildings within Scantic River State Park, accessible for historical exploration.
The elevation of 49 meters and proximity to Scantic River created perfect conditions for water-powered gunpowder manufacturing operations in the 19th century.
