The Wickham Road Historic District is a 225-acre (91 ha) historic district in East Haddam, Connecticut that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. It consists of three houses built c.1735, c.1738, and c.1760, their outbuildings, remnants of another 18th-century house, and remnants of a sawmill. The area is significant as a visual reminder of what the region might have looked like prior to the advent of industrialization in the 19th century.[2]
