Village of Monroe Historic District

Village of Monroe Historic District The Village of Monroe Historic District is comprised of more than 30 structures and sites dating back to the 1700's. Originally Smith's Clove.

Originally the farm of David Smith, Smith's Clove became the Village of Monroe. The Village of Monroe Historic District was begun by local residents who had volunteered on the Centennial Committee. In 1998, after five years of public hearings and with the full endorsement of the Village planning board, the district was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

An image of David Smith’s grist mill was used for our profile. A wooden carving by Clay Boone, son of Jarvis Boone, was based on photographs and a contemporary gristmill which has been restored at Sandwich, Massachusetts. The grist mill ruins are below the waterfall. A later construction, a sawmill, stood above the waterfall. Another building, an ice house, stood next to the sawmill. All of these structures were taken down when the highway was widened.
