Biddeford-Saco Mills Historic District
Biddeford-Saco Mills Historic District, Historic industrial complex near Saco River, Maine, United States.
The district spans 38 acres along the Saco River, containing over forty brick mill buildings from the 19th and early 20th centuries.
The first industrial development started in 1653 with John Davis establishing a water-powered sawmill, leading to extensive textile manufacturing operations by 1826.
The Biddeford Mills Museum preserves the industrial heritage through exhibits about textile manufacturing processes and the workers who shaped the local community.
The district includes buildings on both sides of the Saco River, bounded by Pearl, Lincoln, York, and Main Streets in Biddeford and Gooch Street in Saco.
Two buildings on Saco Island, York Mills #1 and #4, extend more than 500 feet in length, representing the largest cotton manufacturing facilities of their time.
