In preparation for Saturday's commemoration of the arrest of the New Manchester mill workers, today, I visited the site, to walk the ground the workers walked 150 years ago before Federal troops took them into custody, transported them to Marietta, where they eventually boarded northbound trains. Many of these displaced Georgians never returned. Learn more about their story Saturday morning in Marietta!
