That’s cool. So the Gold Mine you referred to was Hale Gold Mine. Sat dormant for years, and they really fired it up about 15 years ago.

All of those towns through that area were textile towns and booming up until the 1970’s and 1980’s. Once textiles went overseas, those towns struggled. The one saving grace for Great Falls may be its proximity to Charlotte and I-77.

God as my witness I had no idea there were active gold mines in the south. Apparently the first gold rush was in the Carolinas, then the prospectors headed west in 49.
