About this Event
Fulton Cotton Mill Lofts, The Stacks at Fulton Cotton Mill, and The Patch Works invite you on a guided walking tour of Cabbagetown’s historic Fulton Bag & Cotton Mills, which, from 1996 to 2008, was rehabilitated and converted into a residential community. Learn about “The Mill” — its founding; its years of growth and prosperity, and its eventual downfall; its labor unrest; and its race relations — and also come to better understand the people who once lived in its mill town: Fulton Mill Village. Learn about The Mill’s significant impact on rebuilding Atlanta after the Civil War and how it influenced labor practices in the South. You will discover a unique gem – the last of its kind in Fulton County – that has withstood natural disasters, abandonment, and, ultimately, the threat of demolition. The tour is all outdoors and will last about 1.5 hours. Wear comfortable shoes.
