Nestled in 63.25 acres along the Long Island Sound, the Oswegatchie Historic District embraces the Niantic River. Little oddities abound on its main road, where Goofy Gardens and Barrel Rollers live up to their names. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 15, 2005 (NRHP #05001043), it's home to 106 structures, 71 that truly inspire historical awe, from 1875 to 1950. The district's streets act as the city's backbone, hosting 51 parcels that showcase the 106 buildings and structures. You'll encounter architectural styles as strange and fickle as Colonial Revival, Shingle, Craftsman, and Victorian Vernacular, though we're as far from being experts as a pigeon in a violin class. Maybe Goofy Gardens' zany flowerbeds will enlighten us.
