Medway Village Historic District


Located along the Charles River in the southeast corner of town, the Medway Village Historic District was designated as a National Historic District in December, 2008.  Medway Village consists of over two hundred historic buildings on approximately 60 acres of land.  Medway Village was the first area in town to see significant growth as the textile mills on the falls of the Charles River were established at the end of the eighteenth century and the industrial development during the nineteenth century.  By the 1830s, the area was known as Factory Village.
