Robert Brasher, first President of Historic Shelby Association, works to clear remaining debris overlay from a section of the rolling mill floor during our archeological excavation in 1994. The dig was conducted under the direction of industrial archeologist Dr. Jack Bergstresser, Jr., PhD.
The Shelby rolling mill was destroyed on March 31, 1865.
Could you please post when the Spring 2011 Iron Works Festival will be held? Thanks for all the hard work ya”ll do. My mama, Lillian Brasher grew up in Shelby and I have such fond memories.
