Only Remains of the Original Roswell Mill

Built in 1839 in Fulton County. It was destroyed by Union troops in 1864. It is historically notable in that this was one of only two places where female, non-combatants were taken as prisoners of war by the Union (New Manchester Manufacturing Company mill inside what is now Sweetwater Creek State Park is the other).http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/articles/history-archaeology/deportation-roswell-mill-women
