Painted by Clive Haynes, this wonderful mural at the corner of Battleground Avenue and Gold Street in Kings Mountain, North Carolina depicts several key elements from the town’s storied history. Merchant Mills was a steam saw and grist mill located on the south side of today’s West Gold Street. The mill burned in 1895 and was rebuilt in 1898 with a cotton gin, which served local cotton farmers. Both the window on the left and the door on the right are functional.
Wishing all of our loyal readers a Happy New Year, and a 2015 filled with new counties and adventures!
