This class will meet at the UGA School of Social Work (a former cotton mill) for a presentation on Early Industrial Athens with an emphasis on labor practices and the lives of the mill workers in the 19th- and early 20th-century mills that developed near Cedar Shoals on the North Oconee River in Athens. Following the talk (weather depending), the class will explore the Athens Factory building and walk across the Oconee Street Bridge to the Daniel Easley trailhead.
