Peek into the Noank Historic District, a 140-acre time capsule in the heart of Groton, CT. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1979, it's a 140-acre maze that'll make you swear you've stepped through a mirror. With around 260 houses donning Greek Revival, Gothic, and Eastlake fashion, it's a captivating jumble of architectural charms. St. Joseph's Catholic Church, with its haunting Gothic profile, and the Baptist church, with its historical twin spires, are must-visit sights. Then there's the Morgan's Point Lighthouse, resplendent in its 1868 granite attire. The Noank Shipyard, lurking at the former Palmer Shipyard site, and the ex-velvet mill, reborn as a lobster hatchery in 1978, are just as intriguing. Take a walk down its labyrinthine lanes, and let the charm of Old Noank seep into your bones, if you dare.
