Daniel's Village Archeological Site in Killingly, Connecticut preserves the remains of one of the state's earliest textile-milling locations, where a small water-powered mill village grew from an earlier gristmill into a compact company community. A cotton mill established in 1814 was first known as Howe's Factory and later took the Daniels family name after their 1845 purchase. By the mid-19th century, the village included mills, worker housing, a store, and a blacksmith's shop, but its industrial life ended when the mill buildings burned in 1861. Surviving features include a stone dam, a Georgian-style stone house, mill foundations, tailraces, and traces of workers' dwellings.
