Neale Farm and Cotton Gin

Eli Whitney's cotton gin, a machine which separated cotton fibers from the seeds, revolutionized the cotton industry at the turn of the nineteenth century, decreasing the cost of cotton and leading to the development of plantation culture. Situated on Old Marlin Road, this cotton gin likely produced large amounts of "white gold" to be sold in the city square.
