Currently a residential neighborhood, Higganum Landing was a successful trading port and shipbuilding center between 1760 and 1870. The gentle bend of the Connecticut River created a natural harbor where more than 150 vessels were constructed. The district is architecturally significant because of its nine historic houses, built in the Cape Cod, Georgian, and Federal styles during the late 1700s through the mid-1800s.
