From our collection - an 1871 poster advertising the Concord Woolen Mills.

The mill was established by the Concord Manufacturing Company along Nickajack Creek in 1869. After the mill burned in 1889, it was rebuilt and continued to operate several more years. By 1915 the mill was no longer in operation and eventually fell into ruin. When the East-West Connector was built during the 1990s, Cobb County Government added a "ghost frame" to stabilize the remains. Today, the ruins are preserved inside Heritage Park, located at 60 Fontaine Road, Mableton, GA 30126.
