The Sherman Historic District encompasses the historic town center of Sherman, Connecticut. It covers an {{convert|85|acre|ha|adj=on}} historic district area centered on the junction of Connecticut Routes 37 and 39, and consists mostly of residential structures, some of them dating to not long after the town's incorporation in 1740.

Notable buildings include the 1837 Greek Revival Center Church (now used as a performance space), the 1886 Old Town Hall, and the 1926 Colonial Revival library building.{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=91000956}} |title=National Register of Historic Places Registration: Sherman Historic District |date=March 7, 1991 |author=Jan Cunningham |publisher=National Park Service}} and {{NRHP url|id=91000956|title=Accompanying 18 photos, from 1991 (captions on p. 21 of text document)|photos=y}}{{rp|14}}
