West End Heritage Corporation seeks help establishing mill memorial in Darlington
The above picture is the artist’s view of the “Old Cotton Mill Memorial Park” to be built in honor of the men and women who worked at the Darlington Manufacturing Company mill throughout the years of its existence. The Memorial Park is to be built at the corner of Cleveland and Pearl Streets. This is a perfect location because it is part of the “Old Mill Village”, just across from the “Old Mill” and the “Company Store.”
The Darlington Manufacturing Company is a part of Darlington’s history and heritage. We would like to see this memorial dedicated to those who created and left this heritage in Darlington.
Work has begun and the lot monument has been purchased. Bricks are available for sale for $50 each for anyone who wishes to purchase one in memory or in honor of a family member or friend who worked in the mill or was associated in any way. We are in need of financial support to bring this beautiful and meaningful park to completion. Donations are tax deductible under our 501 (c) (3) status. Interested donors, or anyone wanting more information, can call Peggy Sheffield with the West End Heritage Foundation at 843-393-2776 or 843-618-0879.
