Falls Mill

Nestled in a lush green cove along the banks of beautiful Factory Creek stands historic Falls Mill. Built in 1873 as a cotton and woolen factory, the mill was later converted for use as a cotton gin, then as a woodworking shop. Today the water wheel powers millstones that grind cornmeal, flour, and grits.

Cumberland Mountain Tunnel

At the time of its completion in 1852, the Cumberland Mountain tunnel was the longest tunnel in the world. The contruction of the Nashville to Chattanooga Railroad line came to a standstill when the steep grade of the proposed rail line was deemed impassable. The solution was the Cumberland Mountain Tunnel - a project which began in 1849 and was completed in 1852.
