The Borden Milk Plant, now the home of the Fayetteville-Lincoln County Museum, is a historic dairy processing plant in Fayetteville, Tennessee. ==History== The Borden Milk Plant was built by the Borden Company in 1927 to process raw milk into butter and powdered milk. It was among the earliest industrial facilities to be established by a major U.S. company in the former Confederacy in the years after the American Civil War.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fayetteville-Lincoln County Museum )〕 The facility was important to the economy of Lincoln County and the surrounding region, particularly during the Great Depression, when it provided the only source of cash income for the area's farmers. In its first month of business, it paid $25,000 to the farmers who supplied raw milk. At its peak of operation, it had 75 employees and obtained milk from over 1,200 dairy farmers in the area. Local hog farmers used whey from the plant (a byproduct of milk processing) as a supplementary feed for their hogs.〔 In its later years, the plant produced cottage cheese from skimmed milk.〔 During World War II, it supplied dried eggs and dried milk to the U.S. military. The milk processing plant closed in 1962.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lincoln County )〕 In 1988 the facility was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the "Borden Powdered Milk Plant".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Borden Milk Plant」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
