I can be a bit of a nerd when it comes to studying history and genealogy in the south. Here are some historical notes from 1848 describing the cheese farm and and how it was set up.
Interesting how they used spring water carried in to chill the dairy, also interesting how the New Englanders used slave labor to make the operation profitable.
Something that caught my attention is the name of "Trail Mountain" instead of "Tray Mountain", and how it got it's original name. Wonder when it was changed.
