November 9 2008 Falls Mill



We drove to Belvidere Tennessee to see Falls Mill which was completed in 1873. It replaced an older cotton spinning factory built there in 1840. They spun cotton into thread and carded wool here until about 1906 using water power. We loved going in the spring to see the green trees and we went today to see the leaves on the trees as they have all changed a beautiful color this year. My youngest child (Cody 6) has been asking my mother-in-law and me numerous times when we are going back so finally we did it. My mother-in-law and I drove my three kids over and stopped along the way to take pictures of the trees and old barns. I know we looked funny stopping on the side of the road and getting out of the car to take pictures. I think the kids were more imbarresed that we were. You gotta go to the pictures to make great shots. Hope you enjoy the photos!
