#ThrowbackThursday - As the preparation for select #ThrowbackThursday - As the preparation for selective demolition of the Historic Cornelius Cotton Gin began this year to make way for the Cain Center of the Arts-- a SET OF SCALES WAS DISCOVERED embedded in the floors and partial wall ! The Cotton Gin served as the hub to our community over a century ago where farmers from miles around would come to have their cotton weighed, sold and processed for production in one of two Cornelius mills. โš–๏ธ Although the scales are not original to the building, it is a remarkable find ๐Ÿง and now the Town of Cornelius and the Historic Preservation Committee and Cain Center for the Arts are working together to preserve and protect this iconic artifact from Cornelius' origin. ๐Ÿ“œ Read more: ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡ https://herald.lakenormanpublications.com/articles/cotton-gin-scales-symbolize-balancing-cornelius-future-with-past/ . . #history #oldtown #cottonroots #preserve @townofcornelius @caincenterforthearts ๐Ÿ“ท: @brantwaldeck @visitlakenorman @HeraldLNCitizen
