The Tilton Downtown Historic District encompasses a roughly one-block section of Main Street (United States Route 3) in the center of Tilton, New Hampshire.
The area has long been a commercial and industrial center for the town, although most of the buildings now date from the late 19th century onward, and include a fine array of Victorian architecture.
The village's growing economic independence prompted its eventual separation from Sanbornton in 1869.
[2] The district includes a single block of Main Street, which runs roughly east–west, parallel to the Winnipesaukee River.
Its eastern boundary is the junction with Bridge Street, where there are two memorials to the town's war dead.
