The mill company store played a large part in the workers' lives. Many were paid in mill money, which could be applied at the company store, towards rent of the company housing, and company services. As a result, workers were often in debt to the company and not free to seek another job. For more details about mill life, see the Greenville Textile Heritage web site.
This is the Brandon Mill company store, located in the Far West End and is now the location of the Art Bomb studios.
Detail of Burgundian Cope, 3rd quarter of the 15th Century. Part of the booty from the battle of Morat (1476). Formerly kept in the sacristy of St Nicolas in Fribourg it was transferred to the Museum of art and history (1879) and the castle of Gruyeres (1940). It bears the coat of arms of Artois and ancient Burgundy above three flints and steels (emblems of Philip of Good, father of Charles the Bold).
Hand printed textile (1790 – 1810)
This is a very rare example of a domestic textile from the early part of Indiana’s history. It was probably part of a bed curtain set.

"Strikingly well-preserved mummies, tall in stature and fair in complexion, have lain in the parched Tarim Basin of western China for 3,800 years. Wearing Western-influenced textiles and possessing surprising technologies and customs, the identity of these extraordinary people is a mystery!
This historic exhibition of 150 objects drawn from the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Museum and the Xinjiang Institute of Archaeology in Urumqi, China reveals surprising details about the people who lived along the ancient Silk Road. For the first time ever, three of the more than 100 Caucasian mummies found and preserved in the western China’s inhospitable desert sands are being presented in the United States. An impressive array of objects are included in the exhibition to represent the full extent of the Silk Road, where lavish goods, technologies and ideas between East and West were adopted and exchanged."

Most people are familiar with the Peace Center, and perhaps even notice the "old buildings" behind the Peace Center. Those old buildings are the restored remains of the Huguenot Mill. This mill was built in 1881 for weaving plaid and gingham. Although it was next to the Reedy river, it was powered by steam instead of water.
This building restoration was made possible by a donation during the building of the Peace Center, and now serves as office and conference room space.
This is the first post of a series on the textile mills around Greenville. The posts are based on the highly regarded Textile Crescent Tour conducted by historian Don Koonce. The tour is hosted by the Upcountry History Museum, and usually sells out early. The series will cover just a small part of the overall tour. Although the local economy no longer depends on textiles, the Greenville of today has been heavily influenced by the textile mills and their owners.
