Oyster Huts on Milford Point

by John Warner Barber (1798-1885)

Sketch for Barber's Historical Collections of Connecticut published in 1836

Barber wrote that he found 15 or 20 of these seaweed-covered huts along the shore when he visited the town in 1836. Oystermen used the huts in the winter, when oysters were harvested, according to a Web page of the Connecticut Historical Society.
