Ware Millyard Historic District

The Ware Millyard Historic District encompasses a 19th-century mill complex and industrial mill village in the town of Ware, Massachusetts.

Capitalizing on the innovations in textile manufacturing that led to the establishment of Lowell, Massachusetts, investors in 1821 purchased mill privileges at the falls, and incorporated the Ware Manufacturing Company in 1823.

The company platted out the area, with the mills along the river, and a dam and holding pond upriver.

Housing for workers was planned for a street grid lying roughly north of the mill complex.
