Gurleyville Historic District is a small village located at the intersection of two wooded country roads. The district consists of about a dozen houses, primarily from the 19th century, an 18th-century grist mill, other industrial remains along the nearby Fenton River, a cemetery, and buildings, now used as residences, which once were stores, schools and a parsonage. Although most of the surrounding land is reforested, the district includes meadowland on its north, west and south sides. In this way, the physical relationship of the village and its agricultural setting is preserved. - NRHP Registration, 8 October 1975
