The Jordan's Point Historic District encompasses a collection of historic industrial resources at Jordan's Point Park in Lexington, Virginia. The area, long a major local crossing point of the Maury River, was developed about 1800 by John Jordan and John Moorhead, who established a sawmill on the site. In 1806 they dammed the river, and then built a cotton mill in 1808. Of this and later industrial activity on the site, only foundation remnants and the millrace remain; surviving structures associated with the development include the miller's house (c. 1815), now a local museum, and a chapel built in 1874.The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.
