Belknap Mill

Built in 1823, the Belknap Mill is the only building left that represents the first stage of the Industrial Revolution in America. It is the oldest, unaltered brick textile mill in the United States. The Belknap Mill was one of the first mills to convert from weaving to knitting during the Civil War.

One of the first listed buildings on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, the Belknap Mill shows how preservation and history can combine in a community based museum and cultural arts center.

In addition to the hours listed above, we are also open for special events, programs and meetings. Please call ahead if planning a visit on weekends or evenings: (603) 524 8813

The Mill is universally accessible.
