Culpepper's Mill (Historical)
Floyd County, Georgia
Only the foundation remains of this mill that was once operated by Charles
William Culpepper, descendant of John and Nancy Culpepper. (Site Photo) Charles moved to
the area after the Civil War, had a sizeable farm and also operated this mill. His
grandson, Charles E. Culpeper, who grew up
in this area, became perhaps the wealthiest of all Culpeppers through establishing the
Coca Cola bottling operations in New York and New Jersey.
