Tallassee AL is the site of the only Confederate arsenal not destroyed by Union soldiers during the American Civil War. In 1864, the Richmond (VA) Carbine Factory relocated its operations to this cotton mill, built in 1844, for security. Stones used to build the mill were gathered from the adjacent Tallapoosa River by slaves. #bamagrammers #alabama #tallassee #thesouthernfront #southernliving #ussouth #americansouth #picturedixie #jj_unitedstates #tac_exploring #theamericancollective #historic #americanhistory #civilwar #heritage #royalsnappingartists #abandonedalabama #abandoned #beautifuldecay #the_relics #loves_abandoned #jj_abandoned by smfoster4444
