Abstract:
Cooleemee in Davie County was once a thriving mill town with many residents working in a large textile mill built by the Duke family in the late 1890s. Today the mills are closed, but the Cooleemee Mill Village Museum preserves what life was like when the mills were running. The museum is housed in the former residence of the general manager of the mill.
