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."

Located in Burlington and celebrating this history is the Textile Heritage Museum situated within the now fully preserved Glencoe Mill Village.
