Henry River Mill Village is a small textile village in Burke County, North Carolina. It is an unaltered, but now-decaying example of an early industrial environment in Burke County. Today, the remaining buildings of the Henry River Mill Village are traces of the industrial heritage of the county.
Built as a planned community, the village was a self-contained complex with its own mill, dam, water and fire-protection systems, and company store. In later years, the village gained amenities such as walkways, terraced green spaces, and field stone retaining walls. Today, most of the village's original buildings remain sited along a small gorge of the Henry River, just west of Catawba County, North Carolina.
The site is private property but can be driven through via Henry River Road. It is located a short distance from Interstate 40 via an exit near Hildebran. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019.[1]
