History of the Lindale Star



The cotton mill town of Lindale, Georgia started a Christmas tradition 107 years ago of hanging a star between the twin smoke stacks of the Lindale Mill.

The first Lindale Star was made by a few mill employees who built the huge star of of wood and lined it with lights. Every year since 1933, the Lindale Star has marked the Christmas season in Lindale. That is until the mill closed.

Now the Lindale Star is hung on top of Eden Mountain, continuing the tradition started so long ago.
