Hotchkissville Historic District

The district stretches for one mile along the Weekeepeemee River Valley, centered at the intersection of Washington and Weekeepeemee roads.

The area transformed from a colonial farming settlement into a textile manufacturing center after Josiah Hotchkiss converted a sawmill into a textile mill in 1814.

The district contains 202 structures, including 160 contributing resources that showcase Federal, Colonial, and Greek Revival architectural designs from the 19th century.

Visitors can explore the district by following Washington Road on the east side and Westwood Road on the west side of the Weekeepeemee River.

The district preserves worker houses that demonstrate the living conditions of mill employees while maintaining agricultural practices during the industrial period.
