Living in Harrisville
Harrisville is Burrillville's historic heart — a remarkably intact 19th-century mill village listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Stone and brick mill buildings line the Clear River, and the village green, library, and old company housing give it a storybook New England feel.
Buyers who want character — older homes with history, walkable village streets, and a strong sense of place — tend to land here. Burrillville's town offices, schools, and the Jesse M. Smith Memorial Library anchor day-to-day life.
What the Homes Are Like
