Aspetuck Historic District is a neighborhood in the towns of Easton and Weston in Fairfield County, Connecticut, listed on the National Register of Historic Places as an historic district.[1]
The historic district occupies about 80 acres (32 ha) on the banks of the Aspetuck River and includes the oldest section of Easton. The 22 houses in the historic district date from 1750 to 1850.[2] Some structures in the district are examples of Colonial Revival architecture.[1] The district is considered significant for being a "Connecticut farming community that hasn't seen much change" and the home of Helen Keller in her later years.[2] Helen Keller, who was blind and deaf, often walked through the neighborhood by herself, using as her guide a fence that extended down to the Aspetuck River.[2]
