Falls Mill is a historic textile factory in Belvidere, Tennessee, United States. It was built in 1873.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since February 23, 1972.

The mill is now a museum that is also known as the Museum of Power and Industry at Falls Mill.[3] Displays include antique machinery, historic photos, mill stones, broom-making equipment, a printing press, and a dog-powered butter churn. There is a weaving exhibit room with hand looms, spinning wheels and a collection of 19th-century power looms and wool carding machines. The owners live on site adjacent to the mill in a 19th century building that was moved to the current site by the owners. There is a small area to walk around by the river that powers the mill along with picnic tables.
