The Fox River Paper Company Historic District, now known as the Historic Fox River Mills, is a complex of paper mill buildings in Appleton, Wisconsin, United States, built from 1883 to 1915. The historic district includes the Romanesque-styled Ravine/Rag Mills, the Italianate-styled Lincoln Mill which originally milled flour, and the Italianate-styled Fox River Mill. The site is now used as apartments but also retains a functioning hydroelectric canal and privately owned generating station. This hydroelectric infrastructure continues a tradition of electricity from water power dating from the 1880s which makes the Lower Fox River the oldest hydroelectric generation region in the United States.
