Share your mill story

Did your family work at the mill?

For nearly a century, families from Fayetteville and Lincoln County spun yarn at the Elk Cotton Mills. We're gathering their stories before they're lost.

Tell us what you remember: who worked here, what they did, and when. Names, dates, photos and family memories are all welcome, even a single line.

We read every story. We'll only share yours if you tick the box giving us permission, and we'll credit you the way you ask.
