New Riverside Ochre Co

A few weeks ago we posted a photo of downtown Cartersville in 1972. Well, we have come across a colored photo and immediately wanted to share it! It is mind boggling that before the Target and before the Publix that this whole location used to be a mine! You can even see the High School across the street!

The history here at New Riverside never ceases to amaze!

This photo was taken between the late 1800s-early 1900s. The incredible thing about these workers is the amount of dirt they would move even with their setbacks in technology. This photo perfectly depicts the equipment that old miners had to use!

Bringing history to life. This photo was taken in the early 1900s and color was added later.

This mine was a stepping stone for mining in Bartow County. We would not be where we are today without knowing where we have been.

We are honored to continue the legacy that was put into place many years ago!☺️
