Henry Burr Sherwood

Henry Burr Sherwood (2 February 1829 – 27 October 1906) was an inventor, miller, and farmer in Westport, Connecticut.

He played a notable role in the 19th-century economy of the Westport area, including owning and operating the Compo Tide Mill (see Mill Cove Historic District). He invented a farming implement important for the local onion-growing economy of the Westport/Fairfield area and established in 1857 a 14-acre (57,000 m²) onion farm on the west side of Sherwood Mill Pond at 180 Hillspoint Road in Westport.
