Pawcatuck

Sitting on the Pawcatuck River across from Westerly, Rhode Island, this pocket-sized Connecticut village has a historic core — the Mechanic Street Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places — that preserves sites tied to shipbuilding, mills, and worker housing. The district's concentration of historic buildings gives the area a strong visual character, and the riverside setting adds to its appeal for a wander.
