Lindale Mill

Lindale Mill was an industrial textile factory built in 1903 by Massachusetts Mills and was later sold to Pepperell Manufacturing, giving the community and school the name "Pepperell". The mill employed 1,903 employees and produced 1/7 of all textiles in Georgia.

The mill closed in 2001, but the tradition of hanging the Christmas star (since 1931) continues on. The history of Lindale Mill is honored by opening the mill to the public by appointment only for photography, filming and events.
