Gurleyville Historic District

Gurleyville is located what is now a rural setting of north-central Mansfield, Connecticut. The historic district is bounded on the west mostly by the Fenton River, historically the source of power for the village's mills, and the south by the junction of Stone Mill and Grist Mill Roads. It is basically linear in character, extending northward along Chaffeeville Road to its junction with Gurleyville Road, and then westward along the latter road to the river. Its boundary crosses to the west side of the river north of Gurleyville Road, to include the archaeological remains of a mill site. The ruins of the Gurley-Mason Mill, a sawmill built by Zebulon Gurley around 1778, are located two miles to the north along the Fenton River. Connecticut Governor Wilbur Cross was a native of Gurleyville. ==See also==
