The Henry River Mill Village is one of the last places in the country that shows an unaltered industrial area from the 1800s. The village used waterpower to run its factories, something which was considered very high-tech back in the day. While parts of the village were burned during a fire in 1977, many original structures can still be seen today, such as country houses and a general store. Tours are available of the village, including one that will take you through the area at night while telling you of local ghost stories.
