The Hervey Brooks Pottery Shop and Kiln Site is a historic industrial archaeological site in Goshen, Connecticut. It is the site of the 19th-century pottery of Hervey Brooks, a local potter significant for his extensive recordkeeping. Brooks' pottery included a shop and a brick kiln. The shop structure was moved to Old Sturbridge Village in the 20th century, where a reconstruction of his kiln has also been undertaken.[2] The original site is of archaeological significance for identifying the materials Brooks used and how he laid out his work site, and for identifying how those changed over time.
