Regarding Elm Street Historic District. "Elm Street Historic District is part of a 17th-century Connecticut River town which expanded westward from the point on the Connecticut River where an early ferry was established. It is significant architecturally because within its boundaries are good examples of a wide range of representative architectural styles, several in an excellent state of historic preservation, with historic spaces between the buildings still maintained."
