Taylors

If you are considering Taylors as a travel destination, several themes may be of interest: the history of a textile mill, a mineral spring that still flows, model train exhibits, and trails and sports fields.

Textile History at Taylors Mill

Taylors Mill was built as a textile factory in the 1920s and today houses more than 70 tenants. Its construction period and current use exist side by side: the complex is a reference point for textile history and, at the same time, a place with numerous tenants. The number of tenants may change over time. The construction period points to its textile past, while its current tenants provide a distinct connection to the present. These two time periods make the mill a useful point of reference for travelers who also consider a destination’s history when choosing where to go.

Nature, Views and Trails

The mineral spring at Chick Springs still flows today. As a natural feature, it offers a different focus from the textile history at the mill. At David Jackson Park, the burial mound offers views of Paris Mountain and the surrounding Piedmont. The park also has five high-quality playing fields and three different hiking trails. If you would rather plan for scenery or outdoor activity on your trip, these details offer specific points of reference. The spring and the viewpoint provide different connections to nature: one is a flowing mineral spring, while the other offers views of the surrounding landscape.

Model Trains and a Self-Guided Driving Tour

Model Trains Station has 16,000 square feet of model train exhibits, including more than a dozen themed displays. The floor area and exhibit counts may change over time. The exhibits offer a different leisure focus from the trails and playing fields, with model trains and a variety of themes at the center. A 0.7-mile self-guided driving tour is also available for exploring Taylors. Check whether the driving tour is available before your trip. This lets you choose between planning a visit centered on a specific exhibition theme and taking a drive to explore the area.

Corey Burns Park is in the Taylors area of the county and has five baseball fields. Brushy Creek Soccer Complex is near Taylors and offers three high-quality rectangular fields for soccer, American football, and other sports. Baseball is the clearly defined focus at Corey Burns Park, while Brushy Creek Soccer Complex accommodates several field sports. This distinction may help you choose a destination if you are considering particular sports. Keep these details in mind as you weigh the different local attractions for your trip.
