Currently a residential neighborhood, Higganum Landing was a successful trading port and shipbuilding center between 1760 and 1870.[3] The gentle bend of the Connecticut River created a natural harbor where more than 150 vessels were constructed.[4] 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.[5]
