The Harrisville Historic District, located in Harrisville, New Hampshire, United States, is a National Historic Landmark with a rich history in the textile industry. The Cheshire Mills operated in the town from 1852 through 1970, providing livelihoods for the community.

Today, these buildings are home to small businesses, manufacturers, residents, artists, writers, and more. The Harrisville General Store, owned and operated by Historic Harrisville, serves as a central gathering place for the community.
