The iconic Henry River Mill Village, a filming location for The Hunger Games, is now in dire need of repairs. This historic site, once a bustling mill community, has fallen into disrepair due to years of exposure to the elements. The nonprofit Henry River Preservation Fund is raising funds to restore the village, which includes the company store, a focal point for fans of the movie. The village, established in 1905, was a hub of textile production and a representation of how the poor lived. The preservation efforts are crucial to maintaining this piece of North Carolina history and an iconic location for fans of The Hunger Games. The fund aims to raise nearly $1 million to preserve the village, with an immediate focus on renovating the company store building. The village's unique history and its role in the popular movie make it a significant cultural landmark, and its preservation is essential for future generations to experience and appreciate.
