"Dozens of families once called the cottages surrounding the textile factory on the banks of the Henry River home. Today, the humble tract of houses near Hickory has found new purpose and a promising future." Calvin Reyes is co-owner of the 72-acre Henry River Mill Village. The mill shuttered in 1970 and later burned in 1977. the current owners are working to preserve the history of the village.
