Pawcatuck is a village
located in the town of Stonington in the southeastern part of
Connecticut. The Pawcatuck River may separate Westerly and
Pawcatuck, but these two towns have always been involved with each
other. 
The first business was the
trading post on the Pawcatuck River built by Thomas Stanton in
1661. Shortly thereafter a grist mill and later a sawmill was
erected on the west bank of the river. The oldest standing house
in Stonington is the Stanton-Davis Homestead in Lower Pawcatuck
built in 1680.
Today Marinas are busy
launching and servicing boats for sportfishing in the Atlantic.
Downtown retail shops feature unique gifts, trendy clothing, a
pottery studio and a jewelry studio. Area attractions include
Mystic Seaport, Mystic Aquarium, Argia, Denison Homestead Museum,
Fort Griswold Battlefield State Park, Haley Farm, Williams Beach
Park, Old Lighthouse Museum, Stonington Vineyards, and Warbird
Experience. |
