Historic Chattahoochee Commission to Present Free Program and Tour Focusing on Eufaula’s Textile Mill Heritage
When: Friday, May 2
Time: 3:00 p.m. CT
Cost: Free
*Reservations required
Through the assistance of the Alabama Humanities Foundation, the HCC will present “Life on the Southside,” a FREE lecture and historic site tour on Friday, May 2nd at 3:00 CT at the Eufaula-Barbour County Chamber of Commerce (333 East Broad Street).
The program will investigate the role of the Cowikee Mill and mill village in the early twentieth century cultural life of Eufaula. The mill was for decades the city’s largest employer. The self-contained mill village, locally known as “Southside,” contained noteworthy closely-connected business and civic enclaves that operated independently of the rest of the city and gave it a unique sense of place.
A guided tour of historic sites associated with the mill, made available by the City of Eufaula, will follow. As seating on the tour vans provided by the city is limited, *reservations are required by calling the HCC office at 334-687-9755 or emailing [email protected]
