The Lebanon Woolen Mills are historic industrial buildings in Lebanon, Tennessee, U.S. They were built in 1909 by Dr Howard K. Edgerton.[2] The facility was inherited by John Edgerton, who served as its president from 1914 to 1938.[2] Edgerton was vehemently opposed to labor unions, and strongly in favor of open shops.[2] The facility closed down in 1998.[2]

The buildings were designed by Francis B. Warfield & Associates in the Colonial Revival architectural style.[2] They have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since July 12, 2007.[1]
