INDUSTRIAL HISTORY WORTH PRESERVING

Franklinsville Manufacturing Company, 1913

• North Carolina’s pioneer cotton textile manufacturers laid the foundation for Southern industrial development.
• The oldest textile mills in North Carolina still stand in the Piedmont.
• The Franklinsville Manufacturing Company, founded in 1838, operated until 1978. Its Randolph County mill and village are recognized landmarks of industrial history.
• Despite its extraordinary significance, the nineteenth-century factory is in imminent danger of being lost.
• Preservation of this mill would focus attention on the roots of North Carolina’s industrial development, while offering new points of view on its future.
• With your tax-deductible support, restoration of the Franklinsville factory can start soon.
