LOCATION DETAILS

Henry River Mill Village is a small textile village in Burke County, North Carolina. It is an unaltered but now-decaying example of an early industrial environment in Burke County. Today the remaining buildings of the Henry River mill village are traces of the industrial heritage of the county. Built as a planned community, the village was a self-contained complex with its own mill, dam, water and fire-protection systems, and company store. In later years the village gained amenities such as walkways, terraced green spaces, and field stone retaining walls. Today most of the village's original buildings remain sited along a small gorge of the Henry River, just west of Catawba County, North Carolina. The site is private property but can be driven through via Henry River Road. It is located a short distance from Interstate 40 via an exit near Hildebran. The 72 acre village was a filming location of 'District 12' scenes of the 2012 film The Hunger Games. In 2017, the abandoned property was purchased by local residents whose vision is to create a 'Henry River Mill Village Business District' to highlight the history of the site. The Henry River Mill Village offers a unofficial fan tour of the Hunger Games. Check the website for the timetable. The village Company Store served as Mellark's Bakery.
