Why this spot
late 1850s-1890s mill town
Factoryville, founded in the late 1850s between Union and Nehawka, had a flour mill, stores, hotels, a post office and the Methodist Factoryville College. A railroad built on the far side of Weeping Water Creek drew business away, and by the 1890s only empty buildings stood.View source →
