The Wilton Center Historic District in the town center area of Wilton, Connecticut, was established as a town historic district in 1970[2] and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1]
Wilton's town center was formed in 1726 when the first meetinghouse was built. That meetinghouse was replaced with a new building in 1738, and finally in 1790 by a third church, the current Congregational Church at 70 Ridgefield Road. That church is the oldest church building in Fairfield County[3] and a central element of the historic district.
The historic district includes examples of Colonial Revival, Colonial, and Federal styles of architecture.[1] In addition to the Congregational Church, some of the specific buildings located in the historic district are:[2]
The district includes the Wilton Academy. The shape of the district is very irregular.[4]
