Open: The Mill and Mill Homes are not open to the public.

Address: 1149 Barnesville Street, Thomaston, GA. You can enter the mill village from Trice Road and Avenue N as well as various avenues along Barnesville Street.

In December of 1899 Thomaston Cotton Mills was granted a charter, and in 1900 Robert Edgar Hightower, Sr. became president and took over management at the shareholders’ unanimous request. In The Early History of Upson County (Nottigham and Hannah) it is stated, “The inspired leadership and foresightedness of Mr. Hightower has built from that humble beginning, a mammoth industrial enterprise.” His family continued to lead the company. The city of East Thomaston was incorporated as a separate municipality for Thomaston Cotton Mills and the surrounding residences of the employees of the mills. By the time of WWII Thomaston Mills was comprised of Thomaston Cotton Mills (1899), Peerless Mill (1919), Thomaston Bleachery (1924), and the Griffin Mill was purchased c. 1930. Early products included osnaburgs, sheeting, and tire cord. During WWII Certificates of Necessity were issued by the U.S. government for war materials, such as tire cord ( vast amounts were shipped to England and within the U.S.), industrial fabrics, and yarn and fabrics for uniforms, and these had to be fulfilled before other orders from customers. Throughout the years Thomaston Cotton Mills adapted to market changes as well as technological changes.

As the mills expanded with increasing number of employees, building houses to accommodate them was an ongoing activity of the company within the East Thomaston Mill Village. In 1919 with the building of Peerless Mill, the company hired Draper and Co. to layout the grounds of this mill village as well as West Point Iron Works to build new houses. Existing houses were renovated. In its earliest days, Thomaston Cotton Mills provisioned its employees, many commuting from rural farms by horse or on foot, with kerosene and coal and developed boarding houses, homes, a hotel, stable, and butchering facility. With East Thomaston Mill Village clustered around the 3 divisions of Thomaston Cotton Mills, it numbered approximately 624 houses with its own mayor and city council, police force, and mill operated school system employing teachers for grades 1-8. In 1926 Thomaston Cotton Mills built the Martha Mill and its southwest village with grounds laid out in a landscape plan by E. S. Draper, beginning the development of Silvertown. By 1929 the B.F. Goodrich Co. exercised its option to purchase and now owned and expanded Martha Mill and the Silvertown Mill Village.

In September, 1945 Thomaston Cotton Mills dropped the word cotton from its name, reflecting some synthetic yarns, as well as cotton, were being used, becoming Thomaston Mills, Inc. The company continued to diversify its product lines and adapt to ever changing technology, market, and business conditions for over 100 years. It finally succumbed to global pressures. By 2001 the company sold its name, Thomaston Mills, Inc., to ATD American along with a warehouse and automated sewing operation, which continues to operate.

Open Hours: Seven Days a Week from Dawn until Dusk

Address: 213 Park Drive, Thomaston, Georgia 30286

The park honors the people of Thomaston and Upson County who contributed to the U.S. efforts during WWII. These men, women and children served in the military and on the home front. They were part of the Greatest Generation, those people born in the early 20th century who overcame the hardships of the Great Depression and aided war efforts. WLA Studios of Athens, Georgia, designed the park which is located in Silvertown, a mill village where employees of Martha Mills lived, went to school, worked and shopped.

There are peach trees planted in the memorial section. The stone benches and exhibition areas use designs and facades from the former Martha Mills building. The park provides walking trails, recreation facilities and picnic areas.

","

Parking is available on the streets.

Private Residence

208 South Bethel Street

William P. Yonge originally built this one room house with a loft and a two room \"Doctor Shop\" in 1825, making it one of Thomaston's oldest homes. Dr. Larkin Bass soon bought the house and added 2 more rooms. His widow sold the property to Travis Daniel Weaver in 1840. Weaver added 2 front parlors, a center hall, a half story for housing boys', and a girl's room and a smoke house. The girl's room was also the sewing room. Weaver also added a front facade with the Federal style optic and fanlight. He added a decorative arch inside the house between the new front hall and that of the original house. The design is influenced by the Classical Revival and Federal styles popular in that era.

Weaver and Kathryn Dallas and their sister, Mary Dallas Swift, created the Rag Bag Alley Puppets. The handmade puppets and their stories were based on Southern African American folklore tales, Breer Rabbit and his friends. The sisters went to New York in the late 1920s and the early 1930s making a name for themselves as professional puppeteers. They toured the country and their first stop was the University of Georgia. The sisters were invited to the White House by Eleanor Roosevelt to perform for after the Annual Easter Egg Roll.

During WWII, they held puppet shows for the local children in their home, the Dallas Weaver House, in Thomaston. They even build a puppet stage above the stairs. The children sat on the steps for the performances. The sisters climbed up a ladder to reach the stage.

This is the oldest burial ground in the City of Thomaston. The graves of many of our important local historic founders and citizens are in this cemetery. Located on 8.25 acres in the heart of the city, it grew from land that surrounded the site of the first Methodist Church in our area. The property was acquired through conveyances in 1835 and 1860. In 1901, the Trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church conveyed the then two-acre cemetery to the City of Thomaston which maintains it to the present. While walking through the cemetery, look for markers indicating military service. These markers are scattered throughout family graves

The Thomaston Upson Archives is hosting half of the “Thomaston Goes to War … On the Homefront” exhibition. The partner exhibition is located at the Upson Historical Society. The exhibition includes: War Production Industries: National reports stated that the mills in Thomaston produced more than 25% of our nation’s tire cord. They were the key producer of much needed wartime textile products. Given this pivotal role, we are proud to present an exhibition on our wartime textile industry. Our Soldiers: The exhibition highlights our veterans and soldiers and their stories. Thomaston’s War Industries: Martha Mills and Thomaston Mills produced tire cords to reinforce military tires and cotton duck for uniforms. Our mica mines provided material for airport asphalt landing strips, electronics, radio technology, and aircraft plugs.

The Thomaston-Upson Archives is housed in the former R.E. Lee Institute high school library. The Georgian-style building was designed by the architectural firm of Scaggus, Williamson, Vaught, and Spiker of Atlanta. Land for the library was given by Julian Hightower. In 1968, Community enterprises, Inc., a foundation of Thomaston Mills, Inc., funded construction of the library and three decades later furnished the Archives. Established in 1994, the Archives collects, protects, and makes available for research the local government records of Upson County, Thomaston, and the Thomaston-Upson School System; and manuscript, micro forms, audio visual, and printed materials relating to the history of Upson County, Thomaston, and Western Middle Georgia. The Archives' mission is to preserve, manage, and maximize access to recorded local history for the county, city, and its people.

Visit “Thomaston Goes to War…on the Home Front” exhibitions and discover how one small town made big contributions to the World War II Allied victory. This multi-site display is a collaborative project between the Upson Historical Society and the Thomaston-Upson Archives to tell the story of the endurance and mettle of the Greatest Generation and show how World War II brought the country together in such a meaningful way. Both the Upson Historical Society and the Thomaston-Upson Archives illustrate how the people of Thomaston and communities across Georgia banded together as a collective whole to fight the axis. No job was too small, from the Armed Forces to American Red Cross volunteers, down to the children participating in scrap metal drives, winning the war was a joint effort by all.

Step back in time when you visit the Upson Historical Society’s Pettigrew-White-Stamps House Museum, c. 1833 with later additions. The second oldest home in Thomaston was originally located on N. Church Street, the Greek Revival house was moved in 1968 to its present location by the Upson Historical Society to save it from demolition. The museum contains furniture and artifacts illuminating the lives of earlier generations. The inside of the home has been transformed into a typical residence during World War II and visitors can immerse themselves in 1940s home life. Move from room to room to discover 1940s interior design trends which included vibrant colors and patterns to bring cheer during unsettling times. Experience changes in technology such as the introduction of electricity and how it affected home life and the importance of radios inside the home. Unearth how a local novelist influenced the passing of the National Leprosy Act based on her experiences as a war bride and understand how community members contributed to the war effort each in their own way. In one area of the home dedicated to changing exhibitions 3 times per year, visitors will have to opportunity to absorb new featured topics which further express Thomaston’s World War II heritage and the critical role which Georgia towns like Thomaston played.
