Exploring CIVIL WAR Ruins BURNED by the Union | Sope Creek

In this video I travel to the historic paper mill the Union burned in the civil war. They burned it claiming the Marietta mill printed money for the Union.

The hike is called Sope Creek located in Marietta, Georgia just northwest of Atlanta. The ruins kind of remind me of a mini castle and are fun to explore. So much history surrounding us and so few know about it!

Sope Creek is an 11.6-mile-long (18.7 km)[1] stream located in Cobb County, Georgia, United States. It is a significant tributary of the Chattahoochee River.[2] It was known as Soap Creek during the 19th century. A section of Sope Creek runs through the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area.

The Sope Creek Ruins are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Located at the intersection of Paper Mill Road and Sope Creek are old industrial ruins. These ruins are the remnants of a larger manufacturing complex which drew on the waterpower that the creek produced. During the period 1850 to 1940, a succession of enterprises, from a (fully integrated) paper mill, twine plant, flour mill and hydroelectric power plant occupied an area of about one mile along the creek.

The paper mill at Sope Creek was run by Marietta Paper Mills and incorporated on December 19, 1859, possibly by Andrew Schofield Edmondston and Saxon A. Anderson. Facilities at the paper mill included a mill, oil room, office, mill sluice (raceway), storeroom, dam, machine shop, pulp-grinding mill, and two shelters.[6]

The ruins were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
