My Grandfather was Plant Engineer for Bibb Mill back in the 50's and early 60's. As a child I remember getting haircuts at the barber shop there, and having free run of certain parts of the old mill(and Bibb City in general). A sad end to what was once the largest textile mill in the country.

this broke my heart. that was where my great uncle and my grandfather, and my great-grandfather worked. I explored it in High School and thought it was haunted b/c I heard a voice- but now we'll never know. Such a historical building, it was the backbone of Bibb city.
