Abstract:
"The unsung heroes of our wardrobes and our history, socks -- and the hosiery mills that make them -- represent a way of life that once knit together generations of North Carolinians." Back in 1953, North Carolina led the nation in hosiery production. Burlington was once known as the "Hosiery Capitol of the Nation". Located in Burlington and celebrating this history is the Textile Heritage Museum situated within the now fully preserved Glencoe Mill Village.
