Roupes Creek & Restored Tannehill Ironworks
On March 31, 1865 the Tannehill Ironworks was attacked by three companies of the 8th Iowa Calvary. Before leaving they torched all the factory buildings. It is interesting that only a mile downstream on Roupes Creek (modern maps refer to it as Mud Creek) another iron making facility, the Williams & Owens Forge, escaped detection by the same northern troops.
