Caption: The Enterprise Mill (1881)
Additional Description: During the late 1800s the Augusta Canal fueled an industrial revolution that changed the city forever. Factories like the Enterprise Mill led the way. They used canal water channeled from the Savannah River to power their machines. They churned out mile after mile of some of the country's finest cloth and shipped it throughout the United States. Seemingly overnight, the mills transformed Augusta from a struggling town into a major southern manufacturing center that challenged the industrial might of the North.
