Athens Relics Mark Centenary Wonderous Oddities
In Athens Georgia during a centennial celebration rare historic items are recalled headlined by the world’s only double barreled cannon, the Tree That Owns Itself, and the first cotton mill south of the Potomac river. The cannon, invented in 1863 by John Gilleland, was designed to unleash chained cannon balls but proved impractical and now rests as a park relic. The Tree That Owns Itself stands on Dearing Street, protected by a deed said to bind the land to the tree. The first cotton mill, the Georgia factory, began under George Clayton era leadership with ongoing South to North and Europe trade implications for decades.
