Harrisville, in southwest New Hampshire, is the site of one of the oldest mills in America. It is also now a National Historic Landmark and the site of the Harrisville Historic District. In appearance, Harrisville is unchanged since the mid-19th Century.
The first Harrisville mill was founded in 1774. In 1878, the mill began operating as Cheshire Mills, continuing until 1970. Today Harrisville is the home of Harrisville Designs, which sells products and services for knitting and weaving. Harrisville yarns, available around the world, are of a very high quality.
