Went to visit a remodeled home from the 1850's.

James A
It is in Roswell, GA in the National Park. The home is believed to be the residence of the mil, circa 1840's, that was located on the Chattahoochee River. Gray fabric generated from this mill was naturally gray, called Roswell Gray, and was used to make uniforms for CSA troops. The mill was burned by GEN Sherman in 1865 but the house survived. It has been remodeled and opened for tours.
