October 5, 2025

A five-story 19th-century textile mill, built in the 1840s, was once the heart of the village of New Manchester and produced cotton yarn for the Confederacy during the American Civil War.
• What can you see from the trail?
The imposing red brick walls of the ruins tower above the banks of Sweetwater Creek. You can see them from about a half-mile along the Red Trail. The building is partially overgrown, giving it a mysterious and photogenic character.
• Historical Significance
In July 1864, the mill was destroyed by General Sherman's troops during his march on Atlanta. The ruins have been preserved ever since as a reminder of this turbulent period in American history.
• Film History
The ruins served as a backdrop for films such as The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 and Avengers: Infinity War, making it a popular spot for film buffs and photographers.
