The Medway Village Historic District encompasses a historic 19th century industrial village in southeastern Medway, Massachusetts. The village grew as a consequence of the textile industry that developed on the Charles River in the area beginning in the later years of the 18th century, and running through most of the 19th century. The district is an area covering 60 acres (24 ha) that includes more than 240 historically significant structures, most of which were built between 1831 and 1897.[2]
The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.[1]
