Hurstville Historic District, Historic industrial settlement north of Maquoketa, Iowa, United States.

Hurstville Historic District is a former lime production site with four well-preserved limestone kilns and an adjoining warehouse building. The structures sit in rolling terrain and show the hands-on layout of a 19th century industrial operation.

Alfred Hurst founded the first lime kiln in 1871 and expanded it into a major operation that remained active for decades. Later, Portland cement became the preferred alternative and the site gradually fell into disuse.

The district shows how lime shaped building practices across the Midwest and reflects the craft traditions of local construction. Visitors can see at the old kilns what materials were essential for regional construction work.

The four kilns and the old warehouse stand north of Maquoketa, with the Jackson County Conservation Board's interpretive center near the kilns. The townsite and farmstead are gone, so look for the kilns across the road from the former company buildings site. The site lies within the Silos & Smokestacks National Heritage Area.

A narrow-gauge rail system and bridge over the North Fork of the Maquoketa River were specially built to move raw stone from quarries to the kilns. This infrastructure shows how sophisticated the transport planning was for this early industrial site.
