Archaeological site in Connecticut, United States From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Commonwealth Works Site is an historic industrial archaeological site in Norwich, Connecticut. Located near the Yantic Falls on the Yantic River, it was the site of a major industrial facility developed in the mid-19th century, with an industrial history dating back to the 18th century. Charles Augustus Converse had consolidated water rights at the falls, and built a large complex which housed a number of different water-powered enterprises, including the gun factory of Ethan Allen, a gristmill, sawmill, woolen mill, nail factory, and a cork-cutting factory.[2]
