Due to an overwhelming response, we have added a second date to our Insider Tour of the Fulton Cotton Mill Lofts, formerly the Fulton Bag & Cotton Mills in Atlanta’s historic Cabbagetown neighborhood.

Go behind the scenes to learn about the Mill’s founder, Jacob Elsas, and the Mill’s important role in Atlanta’s industrial past. Visit the Mill’s original power plant, machine shop, and the uniquely sited swimming pool, which includes the only surviving portion of the Mill’s bleachery.

The Fulton Bag and Cotton Mill holds the distinction of being the first Southern cotton processing mill to manufacture cotton bags. It is home to one of Atlanta’s earliest and most expansive industrial settlements, with one of the largest mill villages in the South. Between 1996 and 2008, the historic mill buildings were rehabilitated and reimagined into a residential community, earning it a Georgia Trust Preservation Award.

The tour will be led by Jacob Elsas, great-great grandson of the Mill’s founder and executive director of The Patchworks, a nonprofit organization serving the Cabbagetown Historic Landmark District and surrounding neighborhoods in Southeast Atlanta.
