About The Edenton Cotton Mill

The Edenton Cotton Mill was formed in August of 1898, and quickly became a mainstay in the local economy. The one million bricks used in its construction were made on site with machinery leased from Edenton Brick Works. Between 1899 and 1923 more than 70 homes were constructed next to the mill for its workers and supervisors, creating what is now referred to as the Mill Village. In late 1995, shortly after closing the mill, Unifi Incorporated donated the 44 acre complex to Preservation North Carolina, and the task of restoring the property began.
 

Today the Edenton Cotton Mill and Village is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. 57 of the original 70 homes remain, and all have been purchased and lovingly restored.

 

The newest phase of the mill restoration, The Edenton Cotton House Condominiums, is now available! These condos offer one story living, exterior entrances, and private yards, plus the same amenities, character and interior brick walls featured in the main building.
