    “Denison Homestead Acreage:  160 acres of rolling meadows and woodlands, owned by the Denison Society, compose the Denison Homestead. This land is part of Captain George Denison’s original land grant in 1654. He was one of the first Mystic settlers.” 

  “At the corner of  Mistuxet and Cove Roads.  The Society owns about 28 acres. There is an old granite quarry on this land part of the 1800’s Mystic Granite Company.  Much of the granite was sold to customers in New York City. Some of this fine granite was  exhibited at the 1876 International Exhibition.  The granite was loaded on barges and sent down Quaimbaug Cove however when the railroad bridge was built across the cove, the quarry died. Presently some benches are being made from this granite.”
