WELCOME

Community Histories LogoThe Community Histories Workshop welcomes you to Digital Rocky Mount Mills where you can explore the history of the second-oldest cotton mill in North Carolina and witness its transformation into a mixed-use space for local residents. The site offers resources and information for those interested in the mill’s history, the North Carolina textile industry, K-12 pedagogy, African American genealogy, oral history and memory, historic preservation, and economic development.
