Life in Haw River

The town's identity is tied to the river and its mills — the Granite Mill, built beginning in 1844, is the only antebellum mill building in Alamance County still in use. The Haw River Historical Museum preserves local mill-town history, and the Haw River Trail offers miles of hiking and paddling along the water, with the nearby Great Bend Park and restored Glencoe Mill Village a short drive away. Community life stays close-knit and centered on Main Street. Public schools are part of the Alamance-Burlington School System.
