New England Cement Company Kiln and Quarry
The New England Cement Company Kiln and Quarry are a historic archaeological industrial site in Woodbridge, Connecticut. Located on and near a ridge paralleling Litchfield Turnpike, the site includes two components: a stone kiln used for processing cement, and a hand-dug quarry from which limestone used in the cement manufacture was taken. The site has an industrial history dating to 1847; the kiln, which survives in deteriorated condition, dates to 1874.[2][3]
