Significance: The Lippitt Mill has continuously produced cotton textiles since it began operations in 1810. It is the second oldest cotton textile mill in existence in Rhode Island at the present time (the Old Slater Mill of Pawtucket predating it by approximately sixteen years), and is representative of the once numerous small textile mills of the state that were managed directly by their owners rather than through salaried agents.
