Edenton Cotton Mill


We try to walk every day for exercise and the weather was nice today with lots of sun so we enjoyed being out in it. We walked to the nearby Edenton Cotton Mill which is over 100 years old. The original mill still stands. Although the outside is original, the inside has been converted to luxury condos, A chance to live in and own a piece of local history. The neighboring community consists of approximately 57 homes that were once "Casita" style cottages for the mill workers and their families. They have been restored and now are individually owned and lived in. It makes for a lovely neighborhood. The water photo was taken right by the mill. Its a small creek leading into the Sound and I am sure was a way to transport goods from the cotton Mill by boat to load onto larger shipping vessels. This town has lots of History and I enjoy the photo opportunities and love sharing these with everyone.
