The mills in Harrisville remain as the central focus of the village, embodying the dynamic relationship between waterpower and early manufacturing. Drawing power from Goose Creek, the mills and the village expanded under what has been called a Rhode Island system of development. For almost 200 years, the economic life of Harrisville was tied to the production of woolen textiles. Because for the last 120 of those years the mills and supporting buildings were owned by one family, the Colonys, they survived into a period when their historic importance and the need for preservation were recognized.
