Stonewall Manor This place matters because it was built in the younger 1800s as one of the most expensive and beautiful plantation houses at the time. After the Civil War, most of the 127 acres owned were sold, and finally the plantation was sold to Rocky Mount Mills for $15,000 and renovations began.

Rocky Mount Mills The Rocky Mount Mills began building in 1818, and was officially the second cotton mill in the state. This place had mill villages and the Battle family’s home.
